Yimbulunga foordi is the
embolus
that coils all the way round. The shape of the embolus and the overall stout shape of the spider differentiate the species.
Taxonomy
Yimbulunga foordi is a
clade is uncertain.[6] In 2017, the genus was grouped with seven other genera of jumping spiders under the name Euophryines by Jerzy Prószyński.[7] The species is named after the arachnologist Stefan Foord from the University of Venda.[8]
Description
Yimbulunga foordi is a very small stout spider. The male
embolus is thin and coiled around with the tip pointing to the end of the cymbium. The structure of the pedipalps are reminiscent of the genius Euophrys, including the width of the embolus.[9] The female has not been described.[1]
Distribution
Yimbulunga foordi is
Kwa-Zulu Natal in 1983.[8]
