Pelegrina arizonensis
Pelegrina arizonensis is a jumping spider in the family Salticidae. Despite its name, the species is not known from Arizona; confirmed records exist from Mexico, New Mexico, Texas, and Colorado. Males exhibit a metallic blue-black coloration with a distinctive entirely yellow fringe of hairs on the front legs, while females are larger and display a yellowish appearance with spots and stripes on the abdomen. The species inhabits oak woodland understory at elevations between 5,000 and 7,000 feet.
