Garcorops jadis
''Garcorops jadis'' is a possibly extinct species of Wall crab spider, family Selenopidae, and at present, it is one of four known species in the genus ''Garcorops''. The species is solely known from copal found on the beach near Sambava, on the northeast coast of Madagascar.〔
==History and classification==
''Garcorops jadis'' is known only from one fossil, the holotype. The single, adult male individual is preserved in a clear ''Hymenaea verrucosa'' copal specimen. The copal measures with several dipterans, a cockroach, a mite and a juvenile araneid spider also included within. The copal is currently housed in the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium. ''G. jadis'' was first studied by Jan Bosselaers, with his March 2004 type description being published in the journal ''Zootaxa''.〔 The specific name was coined by Jan Bosselaers as a reference to Jadis, the White Witch from the 1950 children's fantasy novel ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'' by C. S. Lewis〔 in reference to the beautiful quality of preservation in the holotype specimen, which seems "enclosed in ice, frozen in time forever".〔 In September 2004 paleoarachnologist Jörg Wunderlich published the description of ''?Anyphops cortex'', for which he was uncertain of the generic placement. After reviewing the type specimens of both ''?Anyphops cortex'' and ''Garcorops jadis'', David Penney, Hirotsugu Ono & Paul A. Selden determined the two specimens were from the same species belonging to ''Garcorops''. As a result of the name ''Garcorops jadis'' being published first, ''?Anyphops cortex'' was declared a junior synonym.
