Sitticus pubescens (Fabricius, 1775) - Jumping Spider

Richman and Cutler cite Kaston as providing the first published North American records for this common and widespread Eurasian species. Kaston's account, however, makes it clear that while he knew of no Connecticut records for Sitticus pubescens the species did occur in Massachusetts: Within the last few years, Kaston relates, Miss Bryant (Elizabeth Bryant, see Anasaitis canosa account) has been finding specimens on brick walls and in the house at her home in Allston, Mass. Bryant's published account includes a detailed description of Sitticus pubescens, specific records for Massachusetts, and a summary of specimens in the museum collection. Kaston also references the illustration that accompanies Bryant's paper.
