Salticidae Blackwall, 1841 - Jumping Spiders


Home > Arachnids​ > Araneae > Salticidae

Kingdom: Animalia
Class: Arachnida
Order: Araneae
​Family: Salticidae


The Salticidae family of spiders also known as Jumping spiders was first described by John Blackwell in 1841. According to the world spider catalogue, Oct 2013, there are currently 592 Genera and 5615 species, making this the largest family of spiders.
These small spiders (3 - 20mm) are easily recognisable by the four large eyes on the front of their heads that give them excellent vision. The hunting behaviour of these small predators is often likened to that of cats, stalking their prey, then jumping up to 20 times their body length to catch their victims.

Genera: ​Asemonea, ​Bavia, ​Cosmophasis, ​Epocilla, ​Hasarius, ​Menemerus, ​Phintella, ​Phintelloides, Plexippus, ​Siler, ​Telamonia, Thiania, ​Thyene
