Taxonomy

Omoedus was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1881. [1] [2] In 2015, Junxia Zhang and Wayne Maddison synonymized Pystira with Omoedus, [3] but this was rejected by rejected by Jerzy Prószyński in 2017, [4] and both genera are accepted by the World Spider Catalog as of August 2020. [1] [5]

The genus is placed in the subfamily Salticinae, tribe Euophryini. [6]

Species

As of August 2019 it contains seven species, found on Fiji, in Papua New Guinea, on the Aru Islands, and the Moluccas: [1]
