Green Lynx Spider, Peucetia viridans

The genus name Peucetia was chosen by the Swedish arachnologist Tamerlan Thorell; it is the mythological proper name of one of the fifty sons of Lycaon, the son of Pelasgus (Cameron 2005). The specific epithet, viridans, is Latin for “green,” describing the coloration of the spider.
