Missing sector orb weaver (Zygiella x-notata), also called silver-sided sector spider, is a species of orb weaver in the family Araneidae. They are solitary spiders, residing in daily-spun orb webs. Z. x-notata is a member of the genus Zygiella, the orb-weaving spiders. The adult female is easily recognized by the characteristic leaf-like mark on her posterior opisthosoma, caudal to the yellow-brown cephalothorax. It is found in Asia and Pacific islands, has been introduced into both Americas, and Sudan.
