[1][2] Members of the subfamily Lyssomaninae are mostly green or yellow, and have long legs compared to other salticids.

[1][3] The subfamily Lyssomaninae, as described in 1976 by María Elena Galiano and in 1980 by Wanless, was agreed by both authors not to be monophyletic, and to consist of three groups.

[4] It was formally divided into three subfamilies, Onomastinae, Asemoneinae and Lyssomaninae s.s., by Wayne Maddison in 2015.

[5] Maddison originally kept the genus Hindumanes in the subfamily Asemoneinae, where it had been placed previously; it had not been included in molecular phylogenetic studies.

[1] In 2017, Hindumanes, whose type species was originally placed in Lyssomanes, was moved to Lyssomaninae, on the basis of the similarity of the male palpal bulb.
