Hermosa is a genus of jumping spiders first described by G. W. Peckham and E. G. Peckham in 1892, and synonymized with Myrmarachne in 1901. In 2016, Jerzy Prószyński split up Myrmarachne, creating nine new genera, all with names beginning "Myrm". However, it turned out that Myrmavola volatilis, the type species of Myrmavola, was also the type species of Hermosa, and Myrmavola was made a junior synonym. It is part of the Myrmarachnini tribe within the Salticoida clade of Salticinae.

Yllenus desertus is a species of jumping spider in the genus Yllenus that is endemic to Mongolia.

The spider is medium-sized, with a carapace measuring typically 2.48 mm (0.098 in) long and an abdomen between 3.2 and 3.4 mm long. It is generally brown in colour, although some examples have a light grey abdomen, with short yellow legs. The epigyne is distinctive. It is large with two narrow crescent-shaped and widely-spaced copulatory openings that lead to many-chambered spermathecae.
