Perregrinus is a monotypic genus of dwarf spiders containing the single species, Perregrinus deformis. It was first described by A. V. Tanasevitch in 1992,[2] and has only been found in Russia , Mongolia, China , and Canada .[1]
The male of this species is readily identifiable by the uniquely-shaped projection issuing from its clypeus. When viewed from the side, this short, rounded projection appears somewhat similar to a human nose.[3]
