Chrysilla guineensis is a species of jumping spider. It is endemic to Guinea. [1] It was described in 2013 based on specimens collected from the Nimba Mountains. [2]
Chrysilla guineensis is a medium-sized spider with elongated body. In the male, the prosoma (cephalothorax) measures 2.3 mm × 1.7 mm (0.09 in × 0.07 in) and the opisthosoma (abdomen) measures 3.3 mm × 1.1 mm (0.13 in × 0.04 in). The carapace is oval, slightly flattened, and brown. The abdomen is elongated, narrower than carapace, and greyish brown with some yellowish patches. The first pair is light brown and longer and thicker than the other pairs, which are yellow. Females measure 2.0 mm × 1.4 mm (0.08 in × 0.06 in) (prosoma) and 2.2 mm–2.9 mm × 1.0 mm–1.3 mm (0.09 in–0.11 in × 0.04 in–0.05 in) (abdomen). The carapace is oval, light brown, and less hairy than in the male. The abdomen is ovoid and tapering (not elongated), and yellowish grey with darker spots, turning brownish posteriorly, or sometimes, brownish grey with traces of lighter spots. The legs are light yellow. [2]
Chrysilla guineensis is best distinguished from the other closely related species by the structure of genitalia. [2]
Chrysilla is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1887. Several species formerly placed here were transferred to Phintella, and vice versa. Females are 3 to 4 millimetres long, and males are 4 to 9 millimetres long. The genus is Persian, derived from the Greek Χρύσιλλα.

Cyrtarachne inaequalis is a species of spider in the orb-weaver spider family Araneidae, found in India, Myanmar, China and Korea. Spiders in the genus Cyrtarachne construct "spanning-thread webs" rather than the more typical orb webs of the family Araneidae. These webs have a small number of radii and instead of a tight spiral of sticky threads, the sticky spanning threads are widely spaced and do not form a spiral. When prey is caught on one of the spanning threads, one end comes loose, and the prey, often a moth, dangles from the other end until hauled in by the spider.
