The Mediterranean black widow (Latrodectus tredecimguttatus), also known as the European black widow, or steppe spider, is a species of widow spider in the genus Latrodectus. It is commonly found throughout the Mediterranean region, ranging from Portugal to southwest and central Asia, hence the name. Specimens from central Asia are also known by the binomial name Latrodectus lugubris; that name, however, is now considered improper, though it is still commonly found in the literature.
