Taxonomy

Sittisax is one of a number of genera that were split off from the broadly defined genus Sitticus (now Attulus ) by Jerzy Prószyński in 2016 and 2017. Sittisax was erected in 2017, with the type species Euophrys saxicola . [1] The generic name is derived from the first parts of the generic and specific names of Sitticus saxicola, the name used for the type species before transfer to Sittisax. [2]

Attulus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1889. The name is a diminutive form of a common prefix for salticid genera, -attus.

<i>Pancorius</i> Genus of spiders

Pristobaeus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1902.

<i>Pseudicius</i> Genus of spiders

Pseudicius is a genus of the jumping spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1885. The name is combined of Greek pseudo "false" and the salticid genus name Icius. The small genus Wesolowskana should possibly be included in this genus. There is some dispute whether Afraflacilla is a distinct genus or should be included in Pseudicius. Festucula and Marchena are other close relatives, these genera form a monophyletic group.

<i>Pystira</i> Genus of spiders

Pystira is a genus of spiders in the jumping spider family Salticidae.

<i>Rhene</i> Genus of spiders

Rhene is a spider genus of the family Salticidae.

<i>Vailimia</i> Genus of spiders

Vailimia is a genus of Asian jumping spiders. The type species was described in 1907 from a single male about 6 millimetres (0.24 in) long. It was originally thought to be close to Harmochirus, but the male pedipalp, chelicera, and cephalothorax drawn by Proszynski in 1984, and information gained from later collected specimens indicates otherwise. Subsequently, five more species have been identified. It may be a synonym for Pancorius.

<i>Zenodorus</i> (spider) Genus of spiders

Zenodorus is a genus of the jumping spiders distributed from the Moluccas to Australia, including several islands of the Pacific. It was once considered a junior synonym of Omoedus, but this was later rejected by Jerzy Prószyński in 2017. At least one species, Z. orbiculatus, specializes on hunting ants.

The taxonomy of the tribe has been subject to considerable uncertainty. It was clarified in 2020.
