Diagnosis. Plexippus paykulli differ from other synanthropic Salticidae for being more robust and for their carapace decorated with three light bands, one in the center of the back and two on the sides ( Figs 1, 2 ), male palp with a long and robust retrolateral tibial apophysis, rounded tegulum, and thinned embolus, arranged above the spermatic duct ( Figs 3, 4 ). The female differs from the other synanthropic species by the epigynum with an oval plate, with lateral edges approaching each other at the base and farther apart at the distal end ( Figs 5, 6 ).

Records in the World. Plexippus paykulli is a species of African origin and was introduced in Europe, the Middle East, India, China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Australia, the Pacific Islands, and the Americas ( WORLD SPIDER CATALOG, 2022).

Natural history. Records in Brazilian zoological collections (Fig. 31) indicate that in Brazil the species occurs almost exclusively in urban environments, with 74 records in houses and 20 records in other buildings (e. g. sheds, churches, and other commercial constructions) ( Tab. I ). In the literature, it is found in the soil, bushes, buildings, doors, windows, concrete, or stone walls ( JACKSON & MACNAB, 1989; MONDAL et al., 2020). The species uses the corners and crevices of buildings to build their shelters and lay their eggs ( JACKSON & MACNAB, 1989; MONDAL et al., 2020).
