Sumampattus quinqueradiatus is a species of jumping spider of the genus Sumampattus. It is found in Peru, Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina.[1]
The species name meaning "five-banded" refers to the five white bands seen from the front in the female.
The species was originally described as Euophrys quinqueradiatus by Władysław Taczanowski in 1878 based on female specimens from Peru.[2] It was later transferred to the genus Sumampattus by María Elena Galiano in 1983, who also provided the first description of the male.[3]
Distribution
S. quinqueradiatus is found across South America, with confirmed records from Peru (Junín Department), Brazil (Bahia and Mato Grosso), Paraguay (Amambay Department), and Argentina (Salta, Jujuy, and Misiones Province).[3][1]
