Irura is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders).
As of August 2022, the World Spider Catalog lists 20 species in the genus
Myrmarachne is a genus of ant-mimicking jumping spiders that was first described by W. S. MacLeay in 1839. They are commonly called ant-mimicking spiders, but they are not the only spiders that have this attribute. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek μύρμηξ, meaning "ant", and ἀράχνη, meaning "spider".
Charippus is a genus of spiders in the jumping spider family, Salticidae.
Epeus is a genus of the spider family Salticidae. They are often found on broad-leaved plants or shrubs of rain forest, or in gardens of Southeast Asia.
Eupoa is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae. Originally known only from one species from Vietnam, several other species have been described since 1997, all from Asia.
Langona is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae. Langona species are similar to those of the genus Aelurillus. In 2015, it was listed in the subtribe Aelurillina. The subtribe is allocated to the tribe Aelurillini in the clade Saltafresia. In 2017, it was grouped with nine other genera of jumping spiders under the name Aelurillines.
Pancorius is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1902. They are similar to Hyllus.
Plexippoides is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Jerzy Prószyński in 1984. The name means "having the likeness of Plexippus"
Ptocasius is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1885.
Simaetha is a genus of Australasian jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1881. They resemble members of Simaethula and Stertinius.
Synagelides is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by W. Bösenberg & Embrik Strand in 1906. This genus and Agorius are separated as a genus group, sometimes called subfamily Agoriinae, but more recently downranked to tribe Agoriini of the Salticoida clade in subfamily Salticinae.
Vailimia is a genus of Asian jumping spiders. The type species was 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, five more species have been identified. It may be a synonym for Pancorius.
Aculepeira is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by R. V. Chamberlin & Wilton Ivie in 1942.
Tonsilla is a genus of East Asian funnel weavers first described by J. F. Wang & C. M. Yin in 1992.
Sinopoda is a genus of Asian huntsman spiders that was first described by Peter Jäger in 1999.
Leptonetela is a genus of leptonetids that was first described by J. Kratochvíl in 1978.
Eriovixia is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Allan Frost Archer in 1951.
Lysiteles is a genus of Asian crab spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895.
Pharta is a genus of crab spiders, family Thomisidae, first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1891.
Irura bidenticulata, commonly known as the purple-gold jumping spider, is a species of salticid. As the name implies, while females tend to take on a more dull coloration, males are characterized by their striking, shiny magenta-gold patterned bodies. Discovered in 2011, the spider had initially been mistaken for a member of the Simaetha genus. Native to regions of Southeast Asia, it was first spotted in Hainan, China, having since also been located in the Saraburi province of Thailand, Cambodia, Hong Kong, and Assam.
