<i>Myrmarachne</i> Genus of spiders

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".

<i>Langona</i> Genus of spiders

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.

<i>Simaetha</i> Genus of spiders

<i>Synagelides</i> Genus of spiders

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.

<i>Vailimia</i> Genus of spiders

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.

<i>Irura bidenticulata</i> Species of spider

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.
