Alistra pikachu is a species of dwarf sheet spider found in China.[1][2]
Taxonomy and systematics
Males of A. pikachu are similar to those of A. hippocampa in having a slender embolus, short cymbial furrow, and an absence of the median apophysis and conductor, but they differ by the absence of patellar apophyses (present in A. hippocampa) and by having a long, thin retrolateral tibial apophysis (short in A. hippocampa). Females are distinguished from other Alistra species by the folded copulatory ducts and oval spermathecae.[1]
