Pellolessertia

Pellolessertia is a monotypic genus of African jumping spiders containing the single species, Pellolessertia castanea. It was first described in 1927, and is only found in Africa. Dippenaar-Schoeman & Jocqué gave the distribution range as Zad're to Ethiopia.
The name is a combination of the salticid genus Pellenes, due to its resemblance it and several other genera in the subfamily Pelleninae, and the arachnologist Lessert. It was first discovered in Avakubi, Democratic [Republic of the Congo], and given the name Avakubia. In 1929, the name was changed to "Pellolessertia" because its previous name was already being used for a gastropod subgenus in Streptaxidae.
