The female has wide insemination ducts, small spermathecae and large accessory glands.

Afraflacilla arabica is a species of jumping spider, a member of the family Salticidae, that was first described by Wanda Wesołowska and Antonius van Harten in 1994.

[1] It is one of over 500 species identified by the Polish scientist Wesołowska during her career, leading her to be one of the most prolific in the field.

[2] They allocated It to the genus Afraflacilla, first circumscribed by Lucien Betland and Jacques Millot in 1941.

[3] First circumscribed by Eugène Simon in 1885, Pseudicius is named after two Greek words that can be translated false and honest.

In that year, Wesołowska synonymised Afraflacilla arabica with Pseudicius braunsi based on a specimen found in Turkmenistan in 1987.

[5][6] in 2005, Dmitri Logunov and Mehrdad Zamanpoore again defined the species as valid, but under the name Pseudicius arabicus, based on examples found in Afghanistan.

[7] This was disputed by Wesołowska and van Harten in 2007, who stated that the Afghan male example not to be a member of the species.

[8] In 2016, Jerzy Prószyński moved the species back to the genus Afraflacilla on the basis of the shape of the copulatory organs.

[10] They can be distinguished from other jumping spiders by their flattened and elongated body and characteristic colour patterns.

The spider rubs its front legs against a row of fine hairs on the side of the carapace.

A long thin embolus curves out from the bottom and over the top of the palpal bulb.

[7] The copulatory openings lead to wide insemination ducts and small spermathecae.
