About Euprosthenopsis pulchella (Pocock, 1902)

Euprosthenopsis pulchella is a species of spider belonging to the family Pisauridae. Its common name is the common Euprosthenopsis nursery-web spider. This spider is native to southern Africa, where it occurs in Lesotho, Eswatini, and South Africa. Within South Africa, it has been recorded in six provinces, at altitudes from 5 to 1,557 m above sea level. Euprosthenopsis pulchella is a sheet-web pisaurid. Members of this group build their sheet webs in low vegetation, most often in bushes, and occasionally between large grass tussocks. This species has been sampled from four biomes: Fynbos, Grassland, Nama Karoo, and Savanna.
