Spiders are quite common in the "limestone regions" of Newfoundland and Labrador. In 2003, Anne
Marie Hynes collected 77 species on Burnt Cape (Hynes 2004).
Hynes' Burnt Cape records have been incorporated into "An annotated checklist of the spiders of Newfoundland" (Pickavance and Dondale, 2005).
In 2010, Pickavance and Dondale described a brand NEW spider species, Iviella newfoundlandensis, from Point Riche, Table Point, Eddies Cove East, and Burnt Cape.
