Evippomma
genus of arachnids
Evippomma is a genus of mainly African spiders in the family Lycosidae with six described species. It was first described in 1959 by Roewer.
Distribution
Species of this genus are mainly found in Africa, with one species described from Pakistan, and one reaching into Israel.
Life style
Spiders in this genus are free-running ground dwellers.
Description
Evippomma are small to medium-sized wolf spiders.
The carapace is blackish brown with a wide dentate yellowish-brown marginal band that disappears anteriorly near the first leg, and a dark brown median thoracic band that is constricted behind the fovea and then widens. The body is densely covered with distinctive flat, leaf-shaped hairs.
The carapace usually appears dark brown, with the median band well developed in most species but absent in some. Lateral bands are always clear and in some species are broken into several pale spots. The median and lateral carapace bands are often covered with whitish to orange hairs.
The public source identifies “Evippomma” as genus of arachnids. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Evippomma, genus and arachnids.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Evippomma”, the useful work is to connect “genus of arachnids” 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 Apr 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3061632. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1959.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. 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.
