Cytaea dispalans is a species of jumping spider in the genus Cytaea. It is found in Myanmar, Indonesia (Borneo, Java, Lombok), and has been reported from Singapore.[1]
The species was originally described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1892 as Hasarius dispalans based on a male specimen from Java.[2] It was later transferred to the genus Cytaea by Prószyński & Żabka in 1983, who removed it from nomen dubium status.[3]
In 2015, Patoleta & Trębicki conducted a comprehensive taxonomic revision and synonymized two other species with C. dispalans: Cytaea guentheri Thorell, 1895 (originally described from Myanmar) and Cytaea aeneomicans Simon, 1902 (originally described from Lombok).[4] This revision was based on examination of type specimens and detailed morphological comparisons.
