'''''Pancorius thorelli''''' is a species of jumping spider in the genus ''Pancorius''. It is found in Indonesia, specifically on the island of Sumatra.<ref name="wsc" />
The species is named after Tamerlan Thorell.
==Taxonomy== The species was originally described by Eugène Simon in 1899 as ''Hyllus thorelli'' based on a male specimen collected in Sumatra.<ref name="simon1899" /> In 1984, Jerzy Prószyński transferred the species to the genus ''Pancorius''.<ref name="proszynski1984" />
==Distribution== ''P. thorelli'' is endemic to Indonesia, where it has been recorded from Sumatra.<ref name="wsc" /> Observations have also been made from Thailand, Malaysia and Borneo.<ref name="inat" />
==Description== The original description by Simon describes a male specimen measuring 8-10 millimeters in length. The cephalothorax is brownish-chestnut to blackish in color with reddish-brown pubescence on both sides and extending to the eye region. There is a white hairy border that is quite broad. The abdomen is blackish with a very broad central white hairy stripe near the apex, marked with small black spots arranged in two rows above this stripe.<ref name="simon1899" />
The species is noted as being unusual for the genus due to its third pair of legs being much longer than the fourth pair, a characteristic reminiscent of spiders in the genus ''Pseudamycus''.<ref name="simon1899" />
