Metaphidippus pernix is a species of spider in the Salticidae (jumping spider) family found in Guatemala. [1]
The species was first described in 1901, as Metaphidippus pernix, by F. O. Pickard-Cambridge. [3] In 1911, Alexander Petrunkevitch decided to transfer the species to the genus Dendryphantes. However, Dendryphantes pernix already existed as the name for a different species (Dendryphantes pernix Peckham & Peckham, 1901, now Beata pernix [4]). Accordingly, Petrunkevitch coined the replacement specific name pernotus. [5] In 1971, Jerzy Prószyński returned the species to Metaphidippus under its original name Metaphidippus pernix. [6] [1] The species has also been wrongly called Metaphidippus pernotus (Petrunkevitch, 1911), as in earlier versions of the World Spider Catalog. [2]
