Emertonius is a genus of spiders in the jumping spider family Salticidae. [1]
Emertonius was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1892. [1] It was variously treated as a synonym of Myrmarachne or a separate genus from 1978 onwards. Jerzy Prószyński revalidated the genus in 2018, [2] and it is accepted by the World Spider Catalog as of August 2020 [update] . [1]
When included in Myrmarachne, it was placed in subfamily Salticinae (clade Salticoida, tribe Myrmarachnini) in Maddison's 2016 classification of the family Salticidae. [3] Prószyński placed the separate genus in his informal group "myrmarachnines". [2]
As of August 2020 [update] , the World Spider Catalog accepted the following extant species: [1]
Myrmarachne is a genus of ant-mimicking jumping spiders that was first described by W. S. MacLeay in 1839. They are commonly called antmimicking spiders, but they are not the only spiders that have this attribute. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek μύρμηξ (myrmex), meaning "ant", and ἀράχνη (arachne), meaning "spider".
Omoedus is a genus of jumping spiders.
Panachraesta is a monotypic genus of Sri Lankan jumping spiders containing the single species, Panachraesta paludosa. It was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1900, and is only found in Sri Lanka. Until 2016, it was a synonym of Myrmarachne.
Pystira is a genus of spiders in the jumping spider family Salticidae.
Thianitara is a genus of Southeast Asian jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1903. As of August 2019 it contains only two species, found in Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia: T. spectrum and T. thailandica. It was briefly considered a junior synonym of Thiania until 2017, when it was revived by Jerzy Prószyński.
Vailimia is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by C. F. Kammerer in 2006. It was first described in 1907 from a single male about 6 millimetres (0.24 in) long. It was originally thought to be close to Harmochirus, but the male pedipalp, chelicera, and cephalothorax drawn by Proszynski in 1984, and information gained from later collected specimens indicates otherwise. Subsequently, three more species have been identified. It may be a synonym for Pancorius.
Zenodorus is a genus of the jumping spiders distributed from the Moluccas to Australia, including several islands of the Pacific. It was once considered a junior synonym of Omoedus, but this was later rejected by Jerzy Prószyński in 2017. At least one species, Z. orbiculatus, specializes on hunting ants.
Euophryini is a tribe of jumping spiders. It has also been treated as the subfamily Euophryinae.
Hermosa is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae. It was first described in 1892 by George and Elizabeth Peckham. As of 2019, it contains 7 species.
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.
Okinawicius is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae. It was first described in 2016 by Prószyński. As of 2017, it contains 9 species.
Rudakius is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae. It was first described in 2016 by Prószyński. As of 2017, it contains 7 species.
Orienticius is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae. It was first described in 2016 by Prószyński. As of 2017, it contains 2 species.
Orcevia is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1890. It was once considered a synonym of Laufeia, but it was revalidated in 2019.
Junxattus is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae with a single described species, Junxattus daiqini, as of August 2020. It is native to Sumatra.
Toxeus is a genus of jumping spiders first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1846. The genus was synonymized with Myrmarachne by Eugène Simon in 1901, and remained a synonym until revived by Jerzy Prószyński in 2016, when he split up Myrmarachne.
Padillothorus is a genus of jumping spiders in the family Salticidae containing the single species, Padillothorus elegans. It was first described by Jerzy Prószyński in 2018, and has only been found in Indonesia.
Padillothorax is a genus of southeastern Asian jumping spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1901. As of April 2019 it contains only two species.
Spadera is a genus of jumping spiders containing the single species, Spadera unica. It was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1894, and has only been found in Madagascar.
