Etymology

The generic name is derived from the Latin word ‘ pulcher ’, meaning ‘beautiful’, and refers to the colouration of the spider. Gender feminine.

Diagnosis and affinities

A very small spider, approximately 2.5 mm in length. The carapace is very high, the highest at the level of posterior row of eyes. The pedipalps are relatively large, the length of the cymbium is approximately equal to the length of the eye field. The structure of the male genitalia is unique (see species description). This genus is a member of the Thiratoscirtini Bodner & Maddison, 2012 but its relationships remain unclear. Due to the presence of an anterior process on the bulb it resembles members of the genus Nimbarus Rollard & Wesołowska, 2002 .
