Pseudicius picaceus simon 1868 jumping spider arachnida araneae salticidae
Name
The genus name is combined of Greek pseudo "false" and the salticid genus name Icius.
Taxonomy
The small genus Wesolowskana (formerly known as Luxuria) should possibly be included in this genus. There is some dispute whether Afraflacilla is a distinct genus or should be included in Pseudicius. Festucula and Marchena are other close relatives, these genera form a monophyletic group.
Species
As of February 2017, the World Spider Catalog accepted the following species. Many species formerly placed here have been transferred to a variety of other genera.
