Pseudomogrus knappi
species of spider
Pseudomogrus knappi is a species of jumping spider in the genus Pseudomogrus that lives in Sudan and Yemen. The species was first defined by Wanda Wesołowska and Antonius van Harten in 1994. They originally placed it in the genus Yllenus, but it was moved to the new genus Logunyllus in 2016, and then to its present designation in 2019. The spider is medium-sized, with a carapace that is between 2.01 and 2.1 mm long and an abdomen between 2.93 and 3.1 mm long. The male has not been described. The female has a plain brown or yellow-brown carapace and an indistinct pattern of stripes on its yellow or yellowish-grey abdomen. It has yellow legs. The spider can be identified by its copulatory organs. It has a very simple internal structure inside its epigyne with short insemination ducts.
