The World Spider Catalog(1) lists the publication year of this to be 1988, but the actual paper says 1987. Not sure if it's a mistake or was deliberate for some reason (delayed publication or something?).

A Predator from East Africa that Chooses Malaria Vectors as Preferred Prey

By Nelson, X. J. and R. R. Jackson
PLoS ONE 1(1): e132, 2006

************
ABSTRACT:

Background
All vectors of human malaria, a disease responsible for more than one million deaths per year, are female mosquitoes from the genus Anopheles. Evarcha culicivora is an East African jumping spider (Salticidae) that feeds indirectly on vertebrate blood by selecting blood-carrying female mosquitoes as preferred prey.

Methodology/Principal Findings
By testing with motionless lures made from mounting dead insects in lifelike posture on cork discs, we show that E. culicivora selects Anopheles mosquitoes in preference to other mosquitoes and that this predator can identify Anopheles by static appearance alone. Tests using active (grooming) virtual mosquitoes rendered in 3-D animation show that Anopheles' characteristic resting posture is an important prey-choice cue for E. culicivora. Expression of the spider's preference for Anopheles varies with the spider's size, varies with its prior feeding condition and is independent of the spider gaining a blood meal.
