Nandicius is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae. It was first described in 2016 by Jerzy Prószyński. (As of 2017), it contains 7 Asian species.[1]

Taxonomy

The genus Nandicius was one of a number of new genera erected by Jerzy Prószyński in 2016, largely for species formerly placed in Pseudicius. Prószyński placed Nandicius in his informal group "chrysillines".[2] In Wayne Maddison's 2015 classification of the family Salticidae, the tribe Chrysillini is part of the Salticoida clade of the subfamily Salticinae.[3]

Nandicius comprises the following species:[1]

  • Nandicius cambridgei (Prószyński & Zochowska, 1981)Central Asia, China
