Phintella transversa

Species of spider

Phintella transversa is a species of jumping spider in the genus Phintella that lives in Ivory Coast. First described by Wanda Wesołowska and Anthony Russell-Smith in 2022, only the male has been identified. The spider is small, with a cephalothorax between 2.0 and 2.4 mm long and an abdomen that is between 2.1 and 2.4 mm long. The carapace is dark brown and the abdomen is brownish-black and marked with four light, nearly white streaks. It is that abdominal pattern that most clearly distinguishes the species from others in the genus and is recalled in the species name. The copulatory organs are also distinctive. The palpal bulb has a small triangular lobe on the back and a curved addition near the small embolus.
