Marchena minuta

(Peckham & Peckham, 1888)[1]

Marchena is a genusofjumping spiders only found in the United States. Its only described species, M. minuta,[1] dwells on the barks of conifers along the west coast, especially California, Washington and Nevada.[2]

It forms a monophyletic group with the genera Afraflacilla, Pseudicius and Festucula.[3]

Description

[edit]

This species can easily be distinguished from others in its range by the tubercles on the first femur of its first legs.[2] M. minuta has a body length of about 4 mm.

Name

[edit]

The genus name is probably derived from the Spanish city of Marchena, Seville.[citation needed] As witnessed by other generic names, the describers had a habit of naming taxa after places unrelated to the species' distribution. The species name is Latin for "small, minute".
