Paraphilaeus

Paraphilaeus is a genus of the jumping spiders found in Queensland and New South Wales. It contains only one species, Paraphilaeus daemeli.^[1] Though it has been known for a long time, in 2003, closer investigation showed that it represents a new genus and is neither related to Plexippus nor Trite. The genus name is derived from Ancient Greek para "alongside" and the salticid genus Philaeus.
