Myrmarachne bicurvata is a species of spider of the family Salticidae. It is endemic to Sri Lanka. [1]
Myrmarachne is a genus of ant-mimicking jumping spiders that was first described by W. S. MacLeay in 1839. They are commonly called ant-mimicking spiders, but they are not the only spiders that have this attribute. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek μύρμηξ, meaning "ant", and ἀράχνη, meaning "spider".
Panachraesta is a monotypic genus of Sri Lankan jumping spiders containing the single species, Panachraesta paludosa. It was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1900, and is only found in Sri Lanka. Until 2016, it was a synonym of Myrmarachne.
Myrmarachne striatipes is a jumping spider that mimics an ant. Its body length is around eight millimeters.
Myrmarachne formicaria is a species of jumping spider. It mimics an ant. It is one of the few species in the genus Myrmarachne that is found outside the tropics.
Myrmarachne melanotarsa, the dark-footed ant-spider, is an African jumping spider found around Lake Victoria in Africa. Like other spiders in the genus Myrmarachne, these spiders mimic ants, in this case, ants of the genus Crematogaster. However, they are unusual in that they exhibit some form of social behavior, forming clusters of silk nests on fig and other trees. Hundreds of these spiders, of both sexes and of all ages, can be found in such communal nests, but most nests have between 10 and 50 spiders. The Crematogaster ants which they mimic are often found in the nests with the spiders, along with other species of jumping spider.
Myrmarachne luctuosa is a species of spider in the jumping spider family (Salticidae). It is endemic to Mainland Australia.
Myrmarachne exasperans is a species of jumping spider found in southeast Asia. The species which was originally described in Java has also been recorded in Borneo, Palawan (Philippines) Vietnam and Bali, where the largest number of individuals have been recorded.
Myrmarachne uniseriata is a species of spider of the family Salticidae. It is native to India and Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka, the species was found in the Ethagala range of Kurunegala District. The species can easily identified by the reddish orange-coloured carapace and dorsally flat chelicerae of male.
Myrmage dishani is a species of spiders of the genus Myrmage. It is endemic to Sri Lanka. The species was first found from Eastern part of Sinharaja Forest Reserve. The species can easily identified by the round opisthosoma, without any visible, constrict. However, the species is much similar to Myrmage imbellissyn.: Myrmarachne imbellis.
Myrmarachne morningside, is a species of spider of the genus Myrmarachne. It is endemic to Sri Lanka. The species was first found from Eastern part of morningside section of Sinharaja Forest Reserve. The species can easily identified by mostly shiny surfaces on distal parts of prosoma. The species is sometimes confused with Myrmarachne spissa, only can be carefully separated from a disk-shaped tegulum.
Myrmage imbellis, is a species of spider of the genus Myrmage. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Myrmarachne prava is a species of spider of the genus Myrmarachne. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Myrmarachne ramunni is a species of spiders of the genus Myrmarachne. It is native to India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Myrmarachne spissa is a species of spider of the family Salticidae. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Myrmarachne melanocephala, is a species of spider of the genus Myrmarachne. It is found throughout the countries ranging from Pakistan to Indonesia. Type locality has been recorded as Bengal of British India .[1][3]
Hermosa is a genus of jumping spiders first described by G. W. Peckham and E. G. Peckham in 1892, and synonymized with Myrmarachne in 1901. In 2016, Jerzy Prószyński split up Myrmarachne, creating nine new genera, all with names beginning "Myrm". However, it turned out that Myrmavola volatilis, the type species of Myrmavola, was also the type species of Hermosa, and Myrmavola was made a junior synonym. It is part of the Myrmarachnini tribe within the Salticoida clade of Salticinae.
Myrmarachne elongata is a species of jumping spider that mimics an ant.
