Heliophanillus fulgens

Heliophanillus fulgens is a jumping spider species in the genus Heliophanillus that can be found in a large distribution that extends from Greece to Central Asia. The species, which was first described in 1872, was originally named Salticus fulgens, but was later placed successively in the genera Euophrys and Icius before the current name was agreed in 1989. The spider is small, ranging in body length between 2.25 and 3.3 millimetres (0.09 and 0.13 in), the female being larger than the male. It is rusty brown with white hairs and primarily lives around the Eastern Mediterranean from Greece into North Africa and Asia.
