Diversity
12 species

Agorius is a genusofspiders in the family Salticidae (jumping spiders).[1] The genera Agorius and Synagelides (and perhaps Pseudosynagelides) are separated as a genus group, sometimes called subfamily Agoriinae but more recently downranked to tribe Agoriini of the Salticoida clade in subfamily Salticinae.[2]

History[edit]

Agorius was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1877.[1] No new species were described for about one hundred years, with seven new species found in the twenty-first century.[3] Undescribed species have been found in Malaysia and Sabah.[4] Several more species have been found but not yet described.[5]

Description[edit]

Both sexes are about six to eight mm long. Agorius is similar to Myrmarachne, another good ant mimic, but can be distinguished from it by having no large, forward-pointing chelicerae, and is not found on vegetation above the ground, but only in rain forest leaf litter.[4]

A. borneensis, A. formicinus, A. saaristoi and A. semirufus are only known from male specimens; A. cinctus, A. gracilipes and A. marieae are only known from a female.[1]

Species[edit]

Agorius constrictus

As of April 2017, the World Spider Catalog accepts 12 species in the genus:[1]
