Bianor is a genus of boreal jumping spiders that can grow to 3 and 4 mm. The robust shiny body and northerly distribution are distinctive. Males can be easily recognized by his swollen forelegs and females have orange legs. It was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1886, who names it after the mythical son of Hercules.

Pellenes is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1876. It is considered a senior synonym of Hyllothyene.

<i>Pseudicius</i> Genus of spiders

Pseudicius is a genus of the jumping spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1885. The name is combined of Greek pseudo "false" and the salticid genus name Icius. The small genus Wesolowskana should possibly be included in this genus. There is some dispute whether Afraflacilla is a distinct genus or should be included in Pseudicius. Festucula and Marchena are other close relatives, these genera form a monophyletic group.

<i>Stenaelurillus</i> Genus of spiders

Stenaelurillus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1886. Most species live in Africa, with some species found in Asia, including China.

Sibianor nigriculus is a jumping spider species that lives in Japan, Korea and Russia. The species was originally identified in 1992 and placed in the genus Harmochirus but was moved to Sibianor when that genus was established in 2000. Sibianor nigriculus is closely related to Sibianor aurocinctus and Sibianor turkestanicus, which makes the spiders hard to distinguish, particularly the females of S. aurocinctus and S. nigriculus.
