Anyphaena grovyle is a species of ghost spider found in China.[1][2]

The species is named after Grovyle, a fictional character from Pokémon.[1]

Taxonomy and systematics

Males of A. grovyle are similar to those of A. mogan in having a similarly shaped median apophysis, conductor, and retrolateral tibial apophysis, but they can be distinguished by the jagged terminus of the median apophysis, the conductor reaching the top of the median apophysis, and the length ratio of the dorsal branch of the retrolateral tibial apophysis to the ventral branch being almost 1:2.

Females of A. grovyle are similar to A. mogan in having globular spermathecae and convoluted copulatory ducts with an enlarged base, but they have laterally directed copulatory openings with an epigynal tooth above, and the sclerotized epigynal plate has an atrium with laterally placed copulatory openings.[1]
