Soesiladeepakius is a spider genus of the jumping spider family, Salticidae.

The type species S. aschnae is only known from male specimens. These are 2.4 mm long, with a brown carapace.

Validity[]

The genus describer Dewanand Makhan publishes in the Australian journal Calodema, whose editor seems to have no quality standards whatsoever, while comparing scientists in general with Hitler and Stalin.[2] While Makhan's work on ants and beetles is substandard (describing existing species without knowledge of the fundamental literature),[3] Soesiladeepakius seems to have been accepted by the arachnologist community, with six species having been added by Ruiz & Maddison in 2012.[4]

Name[]

The genus is a combination of the given names Soesila and Deepak, the wife and son of the describer. The type species is named after the describer's daughter Aschna.[5]
