Megaeupoa
''Megaeupoa'' is a small genus of Asian jumping spiders first described by Y. J. Lin and S. Q. Li in 2020. It was not explicitly assigned to a position within the Salticidae, but the name ''Megaeupoa'' refers to the "evolutionary relationship" of the genus (''Megaeupoa'' means 'large ''Eupoa'''). it contains only two species: '' M. gravelyi'' and '' M. yanfengi''.

List Of Salticidae Genera
The genera of the family Salticidae listed here are those that are extant and accepted by the World Spider Catalog . Assignment to subfamilies and clades is based on Maddison (2015), except where otherwise shown. Unless sources indicate otherwise, genera that were split after 2015 are given the same placements as the original genera listed in Maddison (2015).

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Jumping Spider
Jumping spiders are a group of spiders that constitute the family (biology), family Salticidae. As of 2019, this family contained over 600 described genera and over 6,000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders at 13% of all species. Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among arthropods and use it in courtship, hunting, and navigation. Although they normally move unobtrusively and fairly slowly, most species are capable of very agile jumps, notably when hunting, but sometimes in response to sudden threats or crossing long gaps. Both their book lungs and Invertebrate trachea, tracheal system are well-developed, and they use both systems (bimodal breathing). Jumping spiders are generally recognized by their eye pattern. All jumping spiders have four pairs of eyes, with the Anatomical terms of location, anterior median pair being particularly large. Distinguishing characteristics Jumping spiders are among the easiest to distinguish from similar spider f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brettus
''Brettus'' is a genus of jumping spiders. Its six described species are found in southern Asia from India to China and Sulawesi, with a single species endemic to Madagascar. Two species in this genus, ''B. celebensis'' and ''B. madagascarensis'', were originally described as members of the genus ''Macopaeus''. According to Thorell, the genus name is taken from Greek mythology. Brettos (Βρεττος) was a son of Heracles (appears at Stephanus of Byzantium). Diet and behaviour At least 2 species, ''Brettus cingulatus'' and ''Brettus adonis'', feed on other spiders. Taking advantage of their ability to not adhere to any kind of spider silk, they practise aggressive mimicry and pluck upon the webs of web-building spiders to lure them over to the ''Brettus'' at the edge of the web, where they capture/stab their victim. These two spider species also prefer web-building spiders to insects as prey. They are in these regards similar to the other Spartaeinae jumping spiders of gen ...

Eupoa
''Eupoa'' is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae (jumping spiders). Originally known only from one species from Vietnam, several other species have been described since 1997, all from China. Spiders of this genus have unusual pedipalps, and do probably not belong to the Salticoida, the main clade of jumping spiders. It is basal, but placement is not yet clear. Possibly ''Eupoa'' has branched from other basal groups like Lyssomaninae or Spartaeinae a long time ago.Maddison ''et al.'' 2007:21 Specimens of ''E. prima'' were collected from leaf litter.Murphy & Murphy 2000: 292 Description ''Eupoa'' are small salticids, with ''E. prima'' only reaching about 2 mm in both sexes. Although not closely related, it looks a bit like ''Neon'', another litter dwelling species. The abdomen is dark with light elongate transversal patches.
