Habronattus is a genus in the family Salticidae (jumping spiders). Most species are native to North America. They are commonly referred to as paradise spiders due to their colorful courtship ornaments and complex dances, similar to birds-of-paradise. [1] [2] Males display intricate coloration, while females are cryptic. [3]
As of 2023, there were 105 recognized species and subspecies: [4]
Anasaitis is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by E. B. Bryant in 1950. The name is derived from the salticid genus Saitis.
Corythalia is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1850. The genus is distributed throughout most of the Western Hemisphere. Species of this genus are found in The Americas.
Phanias is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Frederick Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1901. They are similar to members of Marpissa, but have three pairs of spines beneath the first tibia.
Sidusa is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1895.
Psilochorus is a genus of spiders in the family Pholcidae.
Mimetus is a genus of pirate spiders in the family Mimetidae. They are found worldwide.
Cicurina, also called the cave meshweaver, is a genus of dwarf sheet spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1871. Originally placed with the funnel weavers, it was moved to the Dictynidae in 1967, then to the Hahniidae in 2017. The name is from the Latin root "cucur-", meaning "to tame".
Dictyna is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae, and was first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833.
Emblyna is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae, and was first described by R. V. Chamberlin in 1948.
Phantyna is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae, and was first described by R. V. Chamberlin in 1948.
Tricholathys is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae, and was first described by R. V. Chamberlin & Wilton Ivie in 1935.
Eulaira is a genus of North American dwarf spiders that was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin & Vaine Wilton Ivie in 1933.
Grammonota is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by James Henry Emerton in 1882.
Thymoites is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1884.
Habronattus mexicanus is a species of jumping spider in the genus Habronattus. The species was first identified in 1896 in Mexico, after which it is named, originally allocated to the genus Habrocestum. The species has subsequently been identified in locations in North and Central America, as well as islands in the Caribbean Sea. The spider is small, but displays one of the most complex sexual displays, including sophisticated vibatory song patterns.
Phrurotimpus is a genus of araneomorph spiders first described by R. V. Chamberlin and Wilton Ivie in 1935. The name is a compound adjective meaning "guarding the stone". Originally added to the Liocranidae, it was moved to the Corinnidae in 2002, then to the Phrurolithidae in 2014. They have red egg sacs that look like flattened discs, often found on the underside of stones.
