Nicylla Explained

Nicylla is a monotypic genus of Sumatran jumping spiders containing the single species, Nicylla sundevalli. It was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1890,[1] and is only found on Sumatra.[2] Briefly considered a synonym of Thiania,[3] it was elevated back to genus status in 2017.[4]

Thiania, circumscribed to include Nicylla, is placed in the tribe Euophryini, part of the Salticoida clade of the subfamily Salticinae.
