Ebrechtella concinna is a species of crab spider in the family Thomisidae. It is widely distributed across the Oriental region, ranging from Pakistan to the Philippines.[1]

The specific name concinna is derived from Latin, meaning "elegant" or "neat", likely referring to the spider's appearance and markings.

Taxonomy

Ebrechtella concinna was originally described as Diaea concinna by Tamerlan Thorell in 1877 based on material from "Celebes" (Sulawesi).[2] The species has a complex taxonomic history, with numerous synonyms created by different authors who described what are now considered the same species from various locations across its range.[3]

In 2004, Pekka T. Lehtinen transferred the species to the genus Ebrechtella and synonymized several related species, including Ebrechtella fruhstorferi, Misumena gamma, M. silveryi, Misumenops subargentatus, and M. maygitgitus.[3]
