Taxonomy
The genus name Pisaura was first published by Eugène Simon in 1886.[1][2] In 1757, Carl Alexander Clerck had described a species of spider under the name Araneus mirabilis; later authors placed the species either in Dolomedes or more usually in Ocyale. Simon stated that the type species of Ocyale was entirely different from "Ocyale mirabilis", so placed the species in a new genus as Pisaura mirabilis.[2][3] In the same publication, Simon also described Pisaura valida,[2] later placed in Afropisaura as Afropisaura valida.[4]
