DESCRIPTION:
Spider Magnolia Green Jumper
Lyssomanes viridis is a species of jumping spider of the genus Lyssomanes, for which it is the type species. Commonly known as the magnolia green jumper, the species is native to the Southeastern United States plus Texas, and as far north as Maryland. Its southern range is less clear may extend into parts of Mexico, but possible southern reports from Mexico and beyond need to be verified with voucher specimens before any confirmation.
Taxonomy
L. viridis is the type species of the Lyssomanes genus, which is thought to be one of the earliest-to-evolve genera of jumping spiders, representing a link between the anatomical morphologies and behaviors of more primitive spiders and the Salticidae family.
Physiology and morphology
An immature female specimen
The magnolia green jumper is small for a jumping spider, with adult females measuring 7-8mm and adult males 5-6mm. Most specimens appear as a pale, partially translucent green (from which they derive a part of their taxonomic and common names) with a small fringe of scales which may appear red, orange, yellow or white on the crown of the head, framing the eyes.L. viridis has longer legs, relative to the body, than most jumping spiders, with a smaller leap size (approximately three to four times their body length). However, L. viridis is similar to most other salticids in having highly complex eyes and well-developed vision that is amongst the most acute of all arthropods, as well as complex visual cognition behaviors; the anterior median eyes have the telephotic quality for which jumping spiders are known, but also share features with the eyes of species that evolved earlier than salticids. As with many other Salticidae, male L. viridis have brightly-colored and large chelicerae which are used as weapons in contests, and similarly colored forelegs that are waved during visual agonistic displays. The corresponding appendages of females have more muted colors and have significantly lower allometric slopes than those of males. When males encounter each other, they will wave their forelegs and often approach one another until one of them retreats, with a physical fight resulting if neither retreats. During fights, males press their chelicerae and forelegs against each other and push until one tires and retreats.(Wikipedia)
