7, see text Pachyballus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1900.

[2] While most are found in Africa and nearby regions, one species is endemic to New Caledonia.

The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek παχύς ("pachys"), meaning "thick", and the salticid genus Ballus.

[1] As of April 2021[update] it contains nine species and one subspecies, found only in Africa and on New Caledonia:[1]
