Pseudicius seychellensis Wanless, 1984

Material examined: Aride, litter sampling, 1m, July-November 2000, John Bowler leg. ( MZT AA 2.135 )

Diagnosis: P. seychellensis is readily distinguished from all other known salticids in Seychelles by the row of trichobothria below the posterior lateral eyes.

Description: Male (female well described by Wanless 1984) in general appearance much like female but legs I still heavier built, black. Male palp with spine-like tibial apophysis. Bulbus flattened, disk-like; long, whip-like embolus starting from its apicomesal part, running around it, ending close to tip of cymbium.

Distribution: This is an endemic species of which for the present, only two specimens have been collected: Mahé ( Wanless 1984) and Aride (*).
