Hisponinae is a subfamily of jumping spiders (family Salticidae).
[1] Members of the subfamily Hisponinae have a distinctive constriction or furrow in the carapace just behind the small eyes.
They share some features with those of the much larger subfamily Salticinae, such as reduction of the size of the posterior median eyes, and the loss of the conductor of the palpal bulb.
[2] It has subsequently been treated as the subfamily Hisponinae, often using the informal name "hisponines".
[4][1] Onomastinae Asemoneinae Lyssomaninae Spartaeinae Eupoinae Hisponinae Amycoida Salticoida As of August 2020[update], the subfamily included six extant genera:[1] Some genera have been described by Alexander Petrunkevitch from Baltic amber:[1][5]
