''Emathis'' is a
genus of the
spider family
Salticidae (
jumping spiders) with ten described species. Half of the species occurs from Sumatra to the Philippines, the other five occur in the
West Indies. It is not certain that these two groups should reside within the same genus. This genus is very similar to the closely related ''
Lepidemathis'', which are larger.
