Soesilarishius is a spider genus of the jumping spider family, Salticidae.[1]

The type species S. amrishi is only known from male specimens, which are 3.1 mm long, with a dark brown carapace.

Validity

The genus describer Dewanand Makhan publishes in the Australian journal Calodema, whose editor seems to have no quality standards whatsoever, while comparing scientists in general with Hitler and Stalin.[2] While Makhan's work on ants and beetles is substandard (describing existing species without knowledge of the fundamental literature),[3] Soesilarishius seems to have been accepted by the arachnologist community, with 23 species being accepted as of April 2017.[1]

Name

The genus is named after the wife and a son of the describer, Soesila and Rishwan. The type species is named after another son, Amrish.[4]

Species

As of April 2017, the World Spider Catalog accepted the following species:[1]
