Nepalicius is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae. It was first described in 2016 by Prószyński. As of 2017, it contains 3 species.[1]
Taxonomy

The genus Nepalicius was one of a number of new genera erected by Jerzy Prószyński in 2016, largely for species formerly placed in Pseudicius. Prószyński placed these genera in his informal group "pseudiciines", with Pseudicius as the representative genus.[2] In Wayne Maddison's 2015 classification of the family Salticidae, Pseudicius, broadly circumscribed, is placed in the tribe Chrysillini, part of the Salticoida clade of the subfamily Salticinae.[3]
Species

Nepalicius comprises the following species:[1]

Nepalicius koreanus (Wesołowska, 1981)
Nepalicius nepalicus (Andreeva, Heciak & Prószyński, 1984)
Nepalicius seychellensis (Wanless, 1984)
