Luxuria Wesolowska, 1989 (preoccupied name) | |
Wesolowskana is a spider genus of the family Salticidae (jumping spiders). Both described species are endemic to the Cape Verde Islands.[1] The genus should possibly be included in the genus Pseudicius.[citation needed] It was originally named Luxuria when it was first described by Wanda Wesołowska in 1989.[2] It was renamed in 2008 because Luxuria was already in use for a genus of molluscs.[1][3] This genus was named in honour of Wanda Wesołowska.[4]
