Magyarus is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders) with a single species, described from a single male specimen from Vietnam.

Contents

Description

The male is 4 mm long. Its cephalothorax is brown, but darker around the eyes. The abdomen was damaged, but is thought to be grey-brown with yellow sides. Traces of a brown median band were visible. The legs are grey-orange with brown spines; the first pair is orange-brown and lighter inside. The male pedipalp is similar to that of Phlegra.

Name

The genus name is derived from the original word for Hungary, Magyar. Zabka named another salticid genus in 1985 Lechia, after his home country Poland. Both species occur in Vietnam.
