Octonoba varians (Uloboridae) [Japanese name : yama uzu-gumo (uzu-gumo)]
The spiders inhabit
the hollows of roadsides on mountain paths, in dim places,
under the eaves of a house, and under the floors.
They weave a horizontal orb web with stabilimentum or the band of a white
thread in the shape of a spiral or zigzag-direct linear at the center of
the web.
The length is 4-6 mm.
It is found throughout Japan.
