<i>Zuniga</i> (spider) Genus of spiders

Zuniga is a genus of ant mimicking jumping spiders that was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1892. As of September 2019 it contains two species, found in South America, Costa Rica, and Mexico: Z. laeta and Z. magna. It is a senior synonym of Arindas and Simprulloides.

Zygoballus is a genus of jumping spiders found in North and South America.

<i>Zygoballus sexpunctatus</i> Species of spider

Zygoballus sexpunctatus is a species of jumping spider which occurs in the southeastern United States where it can be found in a variety of grassy habitats. Adult spiders measure between 3 and 4.5 mm in length. The cephalothorax and abdomen are bronze to black in color, with reddish brown or yellowish legs. The male has distinctive enlarged chelicerae and front femora. Like many jumping spiders, Z. sexpunctatus males exhibit ritualized courtship and agonistic behavior.

Attus is a taxon name that is now considered a junior synonym of Salticus. In the early 19th century, most jumping spiders were grouped together as a single genus under the name Attus.

Zygoballus iridescens is a species of jumping spider which occurs in the United States. It is known only from a single female specimen collected in Franconia, New Hampshire by Annie Trumbull Slosson.

Hermosa is a genus of jumping spiders first described by G. W. Peckham and E. G. Peckham in 1892, and synonymized with Myrmarachne in 1901. In 2016, Jerzy Prószyński split up Myrmarachne, creating nine new genera, all with names beginning "Myrm". However, it turned out that Myrmavola volatilis, the type species of Myrmavola, was also the type species of Hermosa, and Myrmavola was made a junior synonym. It is part of the Myrmarachnini tribe within the Salticoida clade of Salticinae.
