Quadrica

Quadrica lamboji is the species of jumping spider in the monotypic genus Quadrica that lives in Angola, Gabon and Mozambique. It was originally known as Thiratoscirtus lamboji but was renamed in 2023. The spider often lives in forested areas, but has been found in sandy area near to rainforests where it is exposed to very high temperatures. It is a small spider with a carapace and abdomen that are each typically 2.6 mm (0.10 in) long. It is generally greyish-brown on top, with a black eye field, yellow fovea and lighter serrated streak running down the middle. It has red and reddish-fawn hairs near its eyes. It has yellow legs and pedipalps, the front legs being dark than the rest. The four spines on its pedipalp are recalled in its generic name. The female's copulatory organs have two oval depressions at the front of the epigyne and small spermathecae. The male has not been described but Wanda Wesołowska and Konrad Wiśniewski think that the spider known as Thiratoscirtus tenuis may be the male for this species.
