Salticinae

Salticinae is a subfamily of jumping spiders (family Salticidae).

[1] Members of the subfamily Salticinae have a number of features in common that distinguish them from the remaining salticids.

The palpal bulb of male basal salticids has a distinctive median apophysis, which is absent in the subfamily, and the cymbium is constricted at the tibial joint.

Members also have a more complex tracheal system, which may be connected with their movements, which are more abrupt than other salticids, giving them a recognizable gait.

[2][1] Onomastinae Asemoneinae Lyssomaninae Spartaeinae Eupoinae Hisponinae Amycoida Salticoida In 2015, Wayne Maddison divided the subfamily into 27 tribes with a total of about 540 extant genera.
