Note on illustrations. This introduction to classification of Salticidae includes only species defined by diagnostic illustrations in the taxonomic literature, arranged by similarities of embolus and spermophor. Images are displayed as thumbnails to save space and allow for rapid scanning of theoretically closely-related species. Thumbnails are small versions of illustrations in other parts of the monograph, whera are displayed together with particulars of their sources and permissions.

Gen. Lystrocteisa Simon, 1884 (1 species)

Type species Lystrocteisa myrmex
REMARKS. Placement of this genus somewhat enigmatic. Free embolus resembles HYLLINES, although is not very typical. Complicated ducts and spermathecae fit HYLLINES but placement of minute eyes II near anterior lateral and on the same protuberance, separated from eyes III by broad depression resembles HISPONINES. Tibia I in males, but not in females, strikingly swollen, legs I much longer than remaining, body somewhat ant-like.
Diagnostic drawings below are integral part of definition.
