Platypsecas

Platypsecas is a monotypic genus of Venezuelan jumping spiders containing the single species, Platypsecas razzabonii. It was first described by Lodovico [di Caporiacco] in 1955, and is only found in Venezuela. The type [locality (zoology)|type locality] is El Junquito in the Capital [District (Venezuela)|Capital District]. Gustavo R. S. Ruiz and Antonio D. Brescovit though the genus was "possibly in Euophryinae"; Wayne P. Maddison followed their "tentative suggestion" and classified the genus in the tribe Euophryini within the clade Saltafresia and subfamily Salticinae.
