Maileus is a genus of jumping spiders. Its only species, M. fuscus, is only known from Sarawak and Sumatra.[1] According to its original describers, it is closely related to the genus Microhasarius.
M. fuscus is known only from a single female, which is about 6 mm long. Although no published drawings exist, Zabka has drawn the genitalia, and Proszynski has drawn the genitalia of both sexes of what is probably a different species of Maileus.[2] No study has been published on the genus since its first description.[3]
Name
The species name is derived from Latin fuscus "dusky, brown".
