Pseudicius is a genus of the jumping spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1885. The name is combined of Greek pseudo "false" and the salticid genus name Icius. [3] The small genus Wesolowskana (formerly known as Luxuria) should possibly be included in this genus. [4] There is some dispute whether Afraflacilla is a distinct genus or should be included in Pseudicius. Festucula and Marchena are other close relatives, these genera form a monophyletic group. [5]
As of April 2022 [update], the World Spider Catalog accepted the following species. Many species formerly placed here have been transferred to a variety of other genera. [1]
