Abstract

The research studies on the jumping family of Salticidae in Pakistan are rare due to several reason. In this study, I present the first record of Icius alboterminus (Caleb, 2014) from Pakistan. Specimen for the study is collected selected area of district Swabi, Pakistan. The findings of the study constitute the first record of genus Icius Simon, 1876 from the country, as well as an updated distribution map is presented in this study as well.
