| Ligdus chelifer | |
Ligdus is a genus of jumping spiders found in Burma. It contains only one species, Ligdus chelifer.[1]
The species was described in 1895 from a single female specimen. Eugène Simon thought it to be close to Copocrossa.[2] The habitus of an immature specimen, already showing the large spiny front legs, was drawn by Proszynski in 1984.
