Zygoballus incertus is a species of jumping spider which occurs in Panama. [2]
The species was first described from a female specimen by the entomologist Nathan Banks in 1929 as Atelurius incertus. [2] Arachnologist Arthur M. Chickering described the species, including a male allotype, in his 1946 paper, "The Salticidae (Spiders) of Panama". Chickering expressed doubts about whether the species belonged to Atelurius: "I am unable to come to any decision as to the correct placement of this species... I know nothing better to do with it for the present than to retain it here pending further knowledge." [3] In 1987, arachnologist María Elena Galiano reassigned Chickering's male allotype to Sassacus . Regarding the female type specimen, she remarked that it was "without a doubt fissidentate, and should be excluded from [Atelurius]." [4] Citing the fact that Chickering noted similarities with Zygoballus , Galiano transferred the species out of Atelurius and into Zygoballus. [4] Characteristics of the male were described in 1996 by Wayne Maddison. [5]
