Thiratoscirtus atakpa

Species of spider

Thiratoscirtus atakpa is a species of jumping spider in the genus Thiratoscirtus that lives in Nigeria. The species was first described in 2012 by Wanda Wesołowska and Glavis Edwards and named for an old name for Calabar, the city near where it was first found. Only the female has been described. It is a medium-sized spider, with a cephalothorax that is typically 2.6 mm long and an abdomen that is 2.5 mm in length, both oval in shape. It is generally dark brown, apart from its abdomen, which is brownish-grey. This abdomen helps distinguish it from the otherwise similar Thiratoscirtus vilis. The position of the copulatory openings, in the middle of the spider's epigyne, is also distinctive.
