Attulus pubescens is a species of jumping spiders (family Salticidae). Until 2017, it was known as Sitticus pubescens.[1]
Females have a body length of up to about 5 mm (3⁄16 in), males being slightly shorter at around 4 mm (5⁄32 in), with a smaller abdomen. Both are darkish in colour with variable white markings. Identification is based on the precise structure of the female epigyne and the male palpal bulb.[2]
A. pubescens is native to Europe (including England and Wales[2]), and from North Africa through to Turkey and Afghanistan. It has been introduced to the United States.[1] The species is often associated with people, being found on walls and fences and sometimes inside houses. Away from dwellings, it is also found under stones and on tree trunks.[2]
