Anyphaena sceptile is a species of spider in the family Anyphaenidae found in China.[1][2]

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

Taxonomy and systematics

The male is similar to those of A. grovyle and A. mogan in having a similarly shaped conductor, but it can be distinguished by the long, sword-shaped median apophysis and by the short, robust dorsal branch of the retrolateral tibial apophysis. Females can be easily distinguished by the inconspicuous copulatory openings, located beneath the inner edges of the lateral lobes.[1]
