Vailimia is a genus of Asian jumping spiders. The type species was described in 1907 from a single male about 6 millimetres (0.24 in) long. It was originally thought to be close to Harmochirus, but the male pedipalp, chelicera, and cephalothorax drawn by Proszynski in 1984, and information gained from later collected specimens indicates otherwise. [2] Subsequently, five more species have been identified. It may be a synonym for Pancorius. [3]

Name

The genus was originally named Vailima after the name of the last residence of Robert Louis Stevenson and the village where it is situated. The genus name Vailima was erected by Peckham & Peckham in 1907. However, the name was misspelled Vailimia by Prószyński in 2003. [4] The alternate name Vailimia in 2006 was suggested by C. F. Kammerer [4] as the name was found to be preoccupied by the fish genus Vailima.

Species

Most species are found in Borneo, though Vailimia longitibia was first identified in China, [5] and Vailimia ajmerensis and Vailimia jharbari have been described from India. As of June 2021 it contains six species, all found in Asia: [1] [6]
