Jumping spiders are a group of spiders that constitute the family Salticidae. As of 2019, this family contained over 600 described genera and over 6,000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders at 13% of all species. Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among arthropods and use it in courtship, hunting, and navigation. Although they normally move unobtrusively and fairly slowly, most species are capable of very agile jumps, notably when hunting, but sometimes in response to sudden threats or crossing long gaps. Both their book lungs and tracheal system are well-developed, and they use both systems. Jumping spiders are generally recognized by their eye pattern. All jumping spiders have four pairs of eyes, with the anterior median pair being particularly large.
Eris is a genus of the spider family Salticidae. It is native to North and South America. As is typical for salticids, they are not defensive. While larger specimens could potentially bite, an envenomation would pose no danger to a human.
Maevia is a spider genus of the family Salticidae.
Metacyrba is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Frederick Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1901. The name is combined from Ancient Greek μετά "after, beside" and the salticid genus Cyrba.
Metacyrba taeniola is a species of spider in the family Salticidae, the jumping spiders. Males grow to a length of 4.4–6.0 millimeters (0.17–0.24 in), while females reach 5.0–7.2 mm (0.20–0.28 in). M. taeniola differs from related species such as Metacyrba floridana and M. punctata by its greater overall size, and by the relative broadness of its carapace, which is around 70% of the length of the carapace.

Phidippus apacheanus is a species of jumping spider in the family Salticidae. It is found in the United States, Mexico, and Cuba.
Padillothorus is a genus of jumping spiders in the family Salticidae containing the single species, Padillothorus elegans. It was first described by Jerzy Prószyński in 2018, and has only been found in Indonesia.
Platycryptus magnus is a species of jumping spider in the family Salticidae. It is found in Central America, has a large hairy body and is mostly gray. They are very similar to other platycryptus, but differ from other members of their genus by having a moderate retrolateral tibial apophysis, a small bump on their pedipalp. Previously, Marpissa broadwayi was mischaracterized as a separate species but they are synonymous.
