Pseudicius

Containing group: Heliophaninae

Introduction

An entirely Old World genus of elongate salticids with thickened first legs. The tubercles beneath the small eyes and on the first femur are distinctive, and many species also show long curling setae on the first legs.
Several New World species have been placed here; P. monticola is a dendryphantine and was moved to Phanias by Maddison (1995), and P. piraticus is put back in Paramarpissa. Two New World species remain, P. siticulosus and P. oblongus. The former is actually a dendryphantine.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
