"Segestria" is a genus of segestriid spiders that occur mainly in Eurasia. Some species are found in the Americas, one in New Zealand, and two in North Africa. "S. madagascarensis" is found in Madagascar. Some species can reach a body size of more than 2 cm.Also recently on (Wednesday 10th September 2008) a news article came out in Gloucestershire that the species had reached Cheltenham in the UK. I believe the town that they found them in was called Tredworth.
