Galianora bryicola is a species of jumping spider (family Salticidae) from Ecuador.[1]
Males are about 4 mm long, adult females are not yet known. This species is brown with a generalized salticid body form. The carapace is brown to black with a pale central longitudinal stripe on the thorax. The back of the abdomen is medium brown with indistinct speckling, the underside is black.[2]
One male was collected on a tree trunk, several juveniles were collected by beating moss-covered branches and tree trunks in the understorey of lowland rainforest.[2]
Name[]
The species name refers to the habitat of mossy tree trunks: bryicola means "dwelling on moss".[2]
