Colourful Ground Spider Ceryerda cursitans Simon, 1909
Fauna Portal species: 190
Order: Araneae (Spiders)
Family: Gnaphosidae
Diagnosis
The genus Ceryerda has not been revised and its type species, C. cursitans, has not been reviewed for its treatment on the Fauna Portal. Among all species of Ceryerda, we tentatively illustrate the most widespread and common as C. cursitans, as it is the only one spreading across the type locality of that species, Day Dawn in Western Australia's Midwest.
C. cursitans is very similar to Ceryerda FP-11565, although it differs by male pedipalp morphology, for example in the much broader retrolateral tibial apophysis.
