Dexippus (spider)

Dexippus is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1891.[2] As of June 2019 it contains only three species, found only in Asia: D. kleini, D. taiwanensis, and D. topali.[1] The name is derived from Publius Herennius Dexippus, an ancient Greek historian.
