Maileus fuscus Peckham & Peckham, 1907 | |
Maileus is a monotypic genus of jumping spiders containing the single species, Maileus fuscus. It was first described by G. Peckham & Elizabeth Peckham in 1907, [2] and is only found on Borneo. [1] It is closely related to the genus Microhasarius . [2]
M. fuscus is known only from a single female, which is about 6 millimetres (0.24 in) long. Although no published drawings exist, Zabka has drawn the genitalia, and Proszynski has drawn the genitalia of both sexes of what is probably a different species of Maileus. [3] No study has been published on the genus since its first description. [1]
The species name is derived from Latin fuscus "dusky, brown".
Myrmarachne is a genus of ant-mimicking jumping spiders that was first described by W. S. MacLeay in 1839. They are commonly called antmimicking spiders, but they are not the only spiders that have this attribute. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek μύρμηξ (myrmex), meaning "ant", and ἀράχνη (arachne), meaning "spider".
Bathippus is a genus of jumping spiders.
Bavia is a genus of jumping spiders.
Bocus is a genus of Southeast Asian jumping spiders that was first described by George Peckham & Elizabeth Peckham in 1892. As of June 2019 it contains only three species, found only in the Philippines and Indonesia: B. angusticollis, B. excelsus, and B. philippinensis. They are indistinguishable from the related genus Myrmarachne without the help of a microscope.
Canama is a genus of spiders in the jumping spider family, Salticidae. Its five described species occur from Borneo to Queensland.
Epeus is a genus of the spider family Salticidae. They are often found on broad-leaved plants or shrubs of rain forest, or in gardens of Southeast Asia.
Erasinus is a genus of the spider family Salticidae.
Ergane is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1881. Males of E. benjarei is 9 millimetres (0.35 in) long. The form of the pedipalp and the abdominal pattern suggest that Ergane is close to Chalcotropis. It is named after the goddess Athena, called Athena Ergane as the patron of craftsmen and artisans.
Mantius is a spider genus of the jumping spider family, Salticidae.
Margaromma is a spider genus of the jumping spider family, Salticidae. The eight described species occur mostly in Australia and New Zealand, with several other species on Pacific islands. One species is found in Cameroon.
Microhasarius is a spider genus of the jumping spider family, Salticidae.
Ogdenia is a monotypic genus of jumping spiders containing the single species, Ogdenia mutilla. It was first described by George Peckham in 1907, and is only found on Borneo.
Padilla is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1894. Most males have a characteristic long, forward projecting process on each chelicera that looks like a lance that is bent near the tip. The exception is P. javana, that doesn't have this feature.
Pancorius is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1902. They are similar to Hyllus.
Pristobaeus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1902.
Taivala is a monotypic genus of jumping spiders containing the single species, Taivala invisitata. It was first described by G. Peckham & Elizabeth Peckham in 1907, and is found in Sarawak, Borneo. Only females have been found, but it is thought to be closely related to Pseudamycus. A female epigyne was drawn by Proszynski in 1984.
Telamonia is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1887. They are colorful spiders, with patterns that vary considerably between sexes and species. Two longitudinal stripes along the abdomen are common, and the carapace is often colored. They have a slender opisthosoma and long legs.
Vailimia is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by C. F. Kammerer in 2006. It was first described in 1907 from a single male about 6 millimetres (0.24 in) long. It was originally thought to be close to Harmochirus, but the male pedipalp, chelicera, and cephalothorax drawn by Proszynski in 1984, and information gained from later collected specimens indicates otherwise. Subsequently, three more species have been identified. It may be a synonym for Pancorius.
Viciria is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1877. The genus includes thirty-one accepted species.
Parabathippus is a genus of Southeast Asian jumping spiders that was first described by J. X. Zhang & Wayne Paul Maddison in 2012.
