Evarcha bakorensis
species of arachnid
Evarcha bakorensis is a species of jumping spider that lives in Guinea, Ivory Coast and Nigeria. A member of the genus Evarcha, it is often found in savanna grasslands. The first specimen to be identified as a member of the species was discovered near Bakoré in the Guinea Highlands. The spider is small, measuring between 2.9 and 3.7 mm (0.11 and 0.15 in) long, the female being larger than the male. The oval front section has a light brown topside, or carapace, yellow underside, or sternum, and darker sides. Behind this, the spider's egg-shaped abdomen is greyish-brown or brown and marked with a lighter pattern. The spider has generally brown legs. It has distinctive copulatory organs. The female has a large membrane in the centre of its epigyne while the male has a straight and blunt tibial apophysis, or projection on its palpal tibia. The species was first described in 2002 by the arachnologists Christine Rollard and Wanda Wesołowska.
The public source identifies “Evarcha bakorensis” as species of arachnid. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Evarcha, bakorensis and species.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Evarcha bakorensis”, the useful work is to connect “species of arachnid” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2202256. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2002.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
