Scotinotylus sagittatus is a species of sheet weaver found in the United States.[1] It was described by Millidge in 1981.[1]

Natural habitats

  • Forests: Commonly found in coniferous and mixed forests, where ample leaf litter and dense understory vegetation provide ideal conditions.
  • Grasslands and meadows: Occupies areas with low vegetation that support the construction of characteristic sheet webs.
  • Moist microhabitats: Inhabits damp environments such as those beneath logs, stones, leaf litter, and moss.
  • Tundra and boreal regions: Documented in northern climates, including parts of Scandinavia, Russia, and northern North America, reflecting the genus's adaptation to cooler environments.
