Bocus
Bocus is a genus of Southeast Asian jumping spiders that was first described by George Peckham & Elizabeth Peckham in 1892.[2] As of June 2019 it contains only three species, found only in the Philippines and Indonesia: B. angusticollis, B. excelsus, and B. philippinensis.[1] They are indistinguishable from the related genus Myrmarachne without the help of a microscope.[3]
