Stenaelurillus nigricaudus is a species of jumping spider that is the type species of the genus Stenaelurillus. The species has been identified in Algeria, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Mali, Niger and Senegal.[1]
The spider is typical of the genus. It is small, with an abdomen that is between 2.1 and 3.1 mm (0.083 and 0.122 in) and cephalothorax between 1.9 and 2.7 mm (0.075 and 0.106 in). The male was first described by Eugène Simon in 1886. The female was first identified in 1936 by Ludovico di Caporiacco but was not formally described until 2005 by Nikolaj Scharff and Tamás Szűts. The male is distinguished by its palpal bulb and the female by its flanges at the copulatory openings.[2][3]
