Pseudamycus is a spider genus of the jumping spider family, Salticidae. The monotypic genus Taivala is thought to be closely related.
These jumping spiders are light or colorful, sometimes iridescent. The cephalothorax is high, with steep sides of the thorax. The eyes protrude from the head, located within an orange-brown eye field. The rest of the carapace is greyish-orange, the abdomen light grey-brown with dots and light and dark streaks on the sides. The first pair of legs are dark brown with yellow tarsi, the other three pairs are reddish yellow and spiny. [1]
They live on shrubs and other, mostly broad leaved plants, for example ginger.
The ten species are found in Southeast Asia, from India to New Britain (New Guinea).
The genus is combined of Greek pseudo "false" and the salticid genus name Amycus .
Myrmarachne is a genus of ant-mimicking jumping spiders that was first described by W. S. MacLeay in 1839. They are commonly called antmimicking spiders, but they are not the only spiders that have this attribute. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek μύρμηξ (myrmex), meaning "ant", and ἀράχνη (arachne), meaning "spider".
Bathippus is a genus of jumping spiders.

Taivala is a monotypic genus of jumping spiders containing the single species, Taivala invisitata. It was first described by G. Peckham & Elizabeth Peckham in 1907, and is found in Sarawak, Borneo. Only females have been found, but it is thought to be closely related to Pseudamycus. A female epigyne was drawn by Proszynski in 1984.
Telamonia is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1887. They are colorful spiders, with patterns that vary considerably between sexes and species. Two longitudinal stripes along the abdomen are common, and the carapace is often colored. They have a slender opisthosoma and long legs.
Thiania is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1846.
Viciria is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1877. The genus includes thirty-one accepted species.
The Spartaeinae are a subfamily of the spider family Salticidae. The subfamily was established by Fred R. Wanless in 1984 to include the groups Boetheae, Cocaleae, Lineae, Codeteae and Cyrbeae, which in turn were defined by Eugène Simon.
