Pseudoplexippus Explained

Pseudoplexippus is a monotypic genus of Tanzanian jumping spiders containing the single species, Pseudoplexippus unicus. It was first described by Lodovico di Caporiacco in 1947,[1] and is found only in Tanzania.[2] The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek "pseudo-" (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: ψευδής), meaning "false", and the salticid genus Plexippus.
