***Viciria*** is a [genus](/source/Genus) of [jumping spiders](/source/Salticidae) that was first described by [Tamerlan Thorell](/source/Tamerlan_Thorell) in 1877.[3]

## Description

Both sexes reach a length of about 7 to 12 mm. *Viciria* is a colorful genus similar to *[Telamonia](/source/Telamonia)*. However, the very long, thin [opisthosoma](/source/Opisthosoma) of *Viciria* is almost cylindrical, and the color patterns differ. *Viciria* often shows a single broad longitudinal stripe with a pattern of black dashes on the opisthosoma. A white median stripe is present on the cephalus of the female.[4]

## Distribution

Like *Telamonia*, *Viciria* is found in [Africa](/source/Africa) and [Asia](/source/Asia).
