Misumenini is a tribe of spiders in the family Thomisidae (crab spiders).
Description
The tribe Misumenini belongs to the crab spider family, Thomisidae. As circumscribed by Lehtinen, typical members of the tribe Misumenini have a greenish body and legs (in fresh specimens), and a relatively uncomplicated colour pattern. They have a more-or-less unmodified carapace with only rarely any modifications to the abdomen. Adult males and females are distinctly different. Males have palpal tibia with three separate and distinguishable processes (tibial apophyses) (retrolateral, intermediate and ventral). Females have a more-or-less distinct hood to the epigyne, as well as large spermathecae typical of other members of the subfamily Thomisinae. Some members of the tribe can change body colour in the green-yellow-grey-white range to match the colour of the flower on which they are resting.
