现代的络新妇分布在全球的热带和亚热带地区。
Today's Nephila species are found around the globe in tropical and sub-tropical regions.
在这种新化石在内蒙古地区被发现之前,被认为是络新妇属的最早的化石来自3500万年前。
Until this new fossil turned up in Inner Mongolia, the most ancient example from this grouping, or genus, was about 35 million years old.
所以,这项研究将络新妇的出现年代提前到了侏罗纪,使得其成为了蜘蛛中已知的生存年代跨度最大的一属。
So, this discovery pushes the existence of the Nephila back to the Jurassic Period, making them the longest ranging spider genus known.
