Euophrys is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1834. The small black E. omnisuperstes lives on Mount Everest at elevations up to 6,700 meters, possibly making it the most elevated animal in the world.
Euophrys omnisuperstes, the Himalayan jumping spider, is a small jumping spider that lives at elevations of up to 6,700 m (22,000 ft) in the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, making it a candidate for the highest known permanent resident on Earth. They are found among rocky debris, feeding on tiny stray springtails and flies.
Euochin albopalpalis, synonym Euophrys albopalpalis, is a species of jumping spiders found in mainland China and Taiwan. It is a tiny spider with a total length of less than 3 mm. The sparsely hairy carapace is dark brown with black margins and a black w-shaped mark about halfway along the back. The legs are dark brown and marked with yellowish-brown rings. The oval abdomen is marked dorsally with two light triangular markings followed by four light curved lines.
Euophrys monadnock is a species of jumping spider which occurs in the United States and Canada. It was first described by James Henry Emerton in 1891.
Euophrys kawkaban is a species of jumping spider in the genus Euophrys that is endemic to Yemen. The species was first described in 2007 by Wanda Wesołowska and Antonius van Harten. It is a very small spider, with a body that consists of a carapace, the hard upper part of the cephalothorax, that is typically 1.7 mm (0.07 in) long and 1.3 mm (0.05 in) wide and an abdomen that is typically 1.5 mm (0.06 in) long and 1.1 mm (0.04 in) wide. The carapace is yellowish, marked with a pattern of brown wedges, with a dark brown eye field. The underside of the cephalothorax, or sternum, is yellowish-brown. The abdomen has a pattern of yellowish-white and brownish-black spots that, at times, look like a series of waves. The spider's clypeus is unusual, being yellowish-brown with a covering of white hairs, which clearly differentiates the species from the related Euophrys flavoater. The male's copulatory organs, including its long and thin embolus, also helps distinguish the species. The female has not been described.
Euophrys bifida is a jumping spider species in the genus Euophrys that lives in the Afrotropical region in South Africa. It was first described in 2014.
Euophrys cochlea is a jumping spider species in the genus Euophrys that lives in South Africa. It was first described in 2014.
Euophrys falciger or the Drakensberg Euophrys Jumping Spider is a species of jumping spider in the genus Euophrys that is endemic to South Africa, living in KwaZulu-Natal. The species was first described in 2014 by Wanda Wesołowska, Galina Azarkina and Anthony Russell-Smith. Its name recalls the sickle-shaped embolus of the male. The spider is small, with a body that consists of an oval cephalothorax that measures between 1.1 and 1.9 mm long and a narrower abdomen that is between 1.2 and 1.8 mm long. The male is significantly larger than the female, and darker. Its carapace, the topside of the cephalothorax, is dark brown and the underside of the cephalothorax, or sternum, is black, while its abdomen is black with a pattern of light patches on top and dark underneath. In comparison, the female abdomen is greyish-brown on top and yellowish underneath, The male has generally dark brown legs, while the female's legs are greyish-yellowish. The female is similar to others in the genus, although differing in aspects of its copulatory organs. The male is easier to distinguish without close examination. For example, as well as its longer embolus, it is its smaller size that helps differentiate it from Euophrys meridionalis.
Euophrys gracilis is a species of jumping spider in the genus Euophrys that is endemic to South Africa. The species was first described in 2014 by Wanda Wesołowska, Galina Azarkina and Anthony Russell-Smith.

The pattern on the abdomen differs between the female and the male. The female has a mosaic of light dark patches while the male has a pattern of white stripes. They have brown legs. The copulatory organs enable the spider to be distinguished from other species in the genus. The male has a long thin embolus on its palpal bulb while the female has insemination ducts that have a knotted loop near the top.

The cephalothorax has a darker carapace, or topside, and a lighter sternum, or underside, while the abdomen is reversed. Its eye field is even darker, nearly black. A hairless scutum covers much of the abdomen. The copulatory organs are unique amongst spiders in the genus, particularly the long thin embolus on the palpal bulb of the male. The female has not been described.
Euophrys maseruensis is a species of jumping spider in the genus Euophrys that is endemic to Lesotho. The species was first described in 2014 by Wanda Wesołowska, Galina Azarkina and Anthony Russell-Smith. It is a very small spider, with a body that consists of a cephalothorax that is typically 1.1 mm (0.04 in) long and an abdomen that is typically 0.8 mm (0.03 in) long. The spider is generally brown, apart from small features like the white hairs that can be seen on its face, or clypeus, and its greyish spinnerets. The carapace, the topside of the cephalothorax, is darker than the sternum, or underside and, unusually for the genus, a scutum covers the top of the abdomen. Both its legs and pedipalps are also brown. The spider's The copulatory organs are distinctive amongst spiders in the genus, particularly male's thin tibial apophysis, or protrusion on the palpal tibia. The female has not been described.
Euophrys meridionalis is a species of jumping spider in the genus Euophrys that is known as the Royal Natal Euophrys Jumping Spider. Endemic to South Africa, the species was first described in 2014 by Wanda Wesołowska, Galina Azarkina and Anthony Russell-Smith. It is a very small spider, smaller than most in the genus, with a body that consists of a cephalothorax that measures between 1 and 1.2 mm long and a abdomen that is between 1 and 1.3 mm (0.05 in) long.

The female has a dark surface marked with light patches, including a series of chevrons in the middle. The male has a plain brown scutum in the top but a yellowish-grey or blackish underside with a pattern light dotted lines. The male has generally brown legs, apart from the front pair, which are black and yellow, while the female's legs are all yellowish with some brown parts.

The carapace, the topside of the cephalothorax is brown a central yellow stripe. The underside of the cephalothorax, or sternum, is yellowish-brown. The abdomen has a distinctive pattern of brown and white stripes around its entire body. It is this pattern that differentiates the spider from related species.

Euophrys miranda is a species of jumping spider in the genus Euophrys that is endemic to South Africa. The species was first described in 2014 by Wanda Wesołowska, Galina Azarkina and Anthony Russell-Smith. Only the female has been described.

The topside of the abdomen is duller than the carapace and has a pattern of dark and light wavy lines. The underside of the abdomen has four lines of light dots. Its copulatory organs are unique amongst spiders in the genus, particularly its very small receptacles, or spermathecae, and the complex pattern that the very narrow insemination ducts make. This complexity is the reason for the species name, which can be translated "curious".
Heliophanillus fulgens is a jumping spider species in the genus Heliophanillus that can be found in a large distribution that extends from Greece to Central Asia.
