I didn't read your question carefully enough.

There appear to be 4 spawn points for giant black widows, one of which serves as the PH for The Widowmistress.

The Classic-era (~Nov1999) ShowEQ dump lists 3 spawns for "a giant black widow," so there may well have been a spawnpoint added at (460,219) as later seen in the Kunark-era dump.
Code:
Zone	NPC Name		Count	Low HP	High HP	Low Level	High Level
najena	a_giant_black_widow	2	570	650	18		22

Just killed her tonight. She spawns in the back of the cavern where the giant black widows spawn and has to be the toughest mob in the whole zone. Duel weilding lvl 36 rogue, always shows up with 2 weapons and she runs with SoW speed. She dropped the stiletto of the bloodclaw and a fs spear the first time we killed her, just a fs dagger, fs rapier and widowmistress hair, (?), the second time. So she appears to be a way to get the stiletto without killing Drelzna for it, though a much harder way. She also can have a giant black widow as a placeholder. She's nasty, spamming up your chat window with pierces for 83 pts, and has poisoned weapons. Didn't give her a chance at my back, so I don't know the backstab damage.
Hardly conclusive, but this could be read as the spawnpoint itself being new. The player could have said she spawned in place of one of the spiders. Instead they noted the spawn, then later mentioned The Widowmistress could have a spider PH.
