Sidusa is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1895. [3]
As of February 2022 [update] it contains twenty-six species, found in Central America, South America, the Caribbean, Mexico, and on Borneo: [1]
Beata is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by George Peckham & Elizabeth Peckham in 1895.
Chapoda is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by George Peckham & Elizabeth Peckham in 1896.
Corythalia is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1850. The genus is distributed throughout most of the Western Hemisphere. Species of this genus are found in The Americas.
Cylistella is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1901.
Lyssomanes is a spider genus of the family Salticidae, ranging from South and Central America, up to the southern United States.
Martella is a genus of ant mimicking jumping spiders that was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1892. Species of this genus are found in South America and Central America.
Messua is a spider genus of the family Salticidae.
Metaphidippus 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 Phidippus.
Micrathena, known as spiny orbweavers, is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833. Micrathena contains more than a hundred species, most of them Neotropical woodland-dwelling species. The name is derived from the Greek "micro", meaning "small", and the goddess Athena.
Mimetus is a genus of pirate spiders in the family Mimetidae. They are found worldwide.
Ctenus is a genus of wandering spiders first described by Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1805. It is widely distributed, from South America through Africa to East Asia. Little is known about the toxic potential of the genus Ctenus; however, Ctenus medius has been shown to share some toxic properties with Phoneutria nigriventer, such as proteolytic, hyaluronidase and phospholipase activities, in addition to producing hyperalgesia and edema. The venom of C. medius also interferes with the complement system in concentrations in which the venom of P. nigriventer is inactive, indicating that some species in the genus may have a medically significant venom. The venom of C. medius interferes with the complement component 3 (C3) of the complement system; it affects the central factor of the cascades of the complement, and interferes with the lytic activity of this system, which causes stronger activation and consumption of the complement components. Unlike C. medius, the venom of P. nigriventer does not interfere with lytic activity.
Elaver is a genus of sac spiders first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1898.
Hamataliwa is a genus of lynx spiders that was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1887.
Xanthofreya is a genus of jumping spiders. It was first described in 2015 by G. B. Edwards.
