Phintella parva

Species of spider

Phintella parva is a species of jumping spider in the genus Phintella that lives in China, Japan, Korea and Russia. The species was first described by Wanda Wesołowska in 1981 based on a holotype from North Korea. It was originally allocated to the genus Icius with the name Icius parvus but was transferred to its current genus by Jerzy Prószyński in 1983. It was also recognised that other examples of the spider had been previously collected including, at one time, a description published without a species name. The spider is small and yellow, measuring between 3.5 and 4 mm in body length. The spider exhibits sexual dimorphism and the female is slightly larger than the male. The abdomen has a striped pattern and the carapace has circular markings, but the most distinguishing difference between this species and other members of the genus are its copulatory organs, particularly the short curved embolus on the male and long straight insemination ducts in the female.
