Heliophanillus Fulgens
''Heliophanillus fulgens'' is a jumping spider species in the genus ''Heliophanillus'' that can be found in a large distribution that extends from Greece to Central Asia. The species, which was first described in 1872, was originally named ''Salticus fulgens'', but was later placed successively in the genera ''Euophrys'' and '' Icius'' before the current name was agreed in 1989. The spider is small, ranging in body length between , the female being larger than the male. It is rusty brown with white hairs and primarily lives around the Eastern Mediterranean from Greece into North Africa and Asia. Taxonomy The species was first described in 1872 by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge and named ''Salticus fulgens'', in the genus ''Salticus''. In 1876, Eugène Simon named a spider in the ''Euophrys'' as ''Euophrys fulgens'', but then subsequently described the same spider in 1890, in its female form, and 1901, in its male form, but named ''Heliophanus lucipeta''.

Eugène Simon
Eugène Louis Simon (; 30 April 1848 – 17 November 1924) was a French naturalist who worked particularly on insects and spiders, but also on birds and plants. He is by far the most prolific spider taxonomist in history, describing over 4,000 species. Work on spiders His most significant work was ''Histoire Naturelle des Araignées'' (1892–1903), an encyclopedic treatment of the spider genera of the world. It was published in two volumes of more than 1000 pages each, and the same number of drawings by Simon. Working at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, it took Simon 11 years to complete, while working at the same time on devising a taxonomic scheme that embraced the known taxa. Simon described a total of 4,650 species, and as of 2013 about 3,790 species are still considered valid. The International Society of Arachnology offers a Simon Award recognising lifetime achievement. The Eocene fossil spider species '' Cenotextricella simoni'' was named in his ...

Wanda Wesołowska
Wanda Wesołowska (born 11 August 1950) is a Polish zoologist known for her work with jumping spiders. She has described more species of jumping spider than any contemporary writer, and is second only to Eugène Simon in the history of arachnology. Originally a student of ornithology, she developed an interest in jumping spiders while still a student at the Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities in the 1970s. She subsequently undertook study into the genus ''Heliophanus'' at the University of Wroclaw. Her subsequent doctoral thesis described 44 new species, and joined the staff at the university. She stayed until retiring in 2020. Her research included the taxonomy and zoogeography of jumping spiders, and has included extensive work on African genera like ''Menemerus'' and ''Pachyballus''. She has identified over 500 species, including half of all those from South Africa, as well as having more than 20 named after her. Early life Wanda Wesołowska (née Nowysz) was ...
