Pachomius (spider)

Pachomius is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1896.[4] Uspachia was merged into genus Romitia in 2007, and all nine species were merged into Pachomius in 2015. The name is derived from Pachomius, the founder of cenobitic monasticism.
