Viciria
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox Viciria is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1877.[1]
Description
Both sexes reach a length of about 7 to 12 mm. Viciria is a colorful genus similar to Telamonia. However, the very long, thin opisthosoma of Viciria is almost cylindrical, and the color patterns differ. Viciria often shows a single broad longitudinal stripe with a pattern of black dashes on the opisthosoma. A white median stripe is present on the cephalus of the female.[2]
Distribution
Like Telamonia, Viciria is found in Africa and Asia.
