Diversity
9 species

Soesilarishius is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders).

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. While Makhan's work on ants and beetles is substandard (describing existing species without knowledge of the fundamental literature), Soesiladrishius seems to have been accepted by the arachnologist community, with eight species having been added by Gustavo Ruiz in 2011.

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.
