Myrmarachne
''Myrmarachne'' is a genus of jumping spiders which imitate an ant by waving their front legs in the air to simulate antennae. Some species also look strikingly like ants. Spiders in this genus are commonly called antmimicking spiders, although there are many other spiders that mimic ants. ==Description== The cephalothorax is elongated, with long chelicerae projecting forward in males. A waist is present on the cephalothorax, and often also on the opisthosoma. Colors vary from black to yellow, depending on the mimicked ant species. One African species was observed to mimick one species when immature, and another as an adult.〔Murphy & Murphy 2000: 304〕 The genus ''Bocus'' is so similar to ''Myrmarachne'' as to be indistinguishable without the help of a microscope.〔
