Viciria is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1877. [3]
Both sexes reach a length of about 7 to 12 mm. Viciria is a colorful genus similar to Telamonia. However, the very long, thin opisthosoma of Viciria is almost cylindrical, and the color patterns differ. Viciria often shows a single broad longitudinal stripe with a pattern of black dashes on the opisthosoma. A white median stripe is present on the cephalus of the female. [4]
Like Telamonia, Viciria is found in Africa and Asia.
As of October 2022 [update] it contains twenty-one species: [1]
Following species were transferred to other genera.
