Cosmophasis gemmans is a species of jumping spider in the family Salticidae. [1] [2] Only the male has been described. [1] The type specimen is deposited at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova. [3] These spiders are typically found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. [4]

Taxonomy

The species was first described as Maevia gemmans by Tamerlan Thorell in 1890 in Diagnoses aranearum aliquot novarum in Indo-Malesia inventarum, [1] based on a male specimen from Sumatra collected by Odoardo Beccari in 1878, which is now stored at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova. [3] In 1955, Carl Friedrich Roewer transferred the species to the genus Cosmophasis . [1]
