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,[2] and is only found in Venezuela.[1] The type locality is El Junquito in the Capital District.[2] Gustavo R. S. Ruiz and Antonio D. Brescovit though the genus was "possibly in Euophryinae";[3] Wayne P. Maddison followed their "tentative suggestion" and classified the genus in the tribe Euophryini within the clade Saltafresia and subfamily Salticinae.[4]
