55598780912DFFDD0691F96F6203F8C2.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet is taken from the Latin adjective primus and means first, referring to the first description of the male specimen in the genus Lycopus, adjective. Generic identification. Generic placement is difficult due to the limited taxonomic work on the genus Lycopus, although the illustrations provided by Workman (1896), Chrysanthus (1964), Simon (1895) and Murphy and Murphy (2000) are helpful. The examined specimens share similar morphology with Lycopus edax in having the green habitus when alive, the convex prosoma, the relative large eyes and conspicuous eye tubercles, and the clypeus that has about the same width as the ocular area. This genus has the bright green habitus and should belong to Dietini sensu Lehtinen (2005). Lycopus can be separated from Loxobates Thorell, 1877 by the width of ocular area / head which is 1.0 vs. 0.5 in Loxobates, and the less oval abdomen of Lycopus with an anterior obtuse edge (sharp in Loxobates, see Simon 1895; Murphy & Murphy 2000).	en	Tang, Guo, Li, Shuqiang (2009): Three new crab spiders from Xishuangbanna Rainforest, southwestern China (Araneae: Thomisidae).
