Genus of spiders
Pancorius is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1902.[3] They are similar to Hyllus.[4]
Description
Pancorius, or at least its Vietnamese species, are rather big, thickset and densely haired jumping spiders. The male palpal organ has a simple structure, while the female epigyne has two pockets and their internal structures consist of 2-3 vast chambers.[5]
Habitat
Pancorius have been collected from various habitats including a roadside wall with dense vegetation, open forest, tropical rainforest and jungle.[5][6]
Diet
One species, P. changricus, has been reported to feed on various flies (hover flies, black flies, cluster flies), booklice and thrips.[6]
