Emertonius is a genus of spiders in the jumping spider family Salticidae.[1]
Taxonomy
Emertonius was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1892.[1] It was variously treated as a synonym of Myrmarachne or a separate genus from 1978 onwards. Jerzy Prószyński revalidated the genus in 2018,[2] and it is accepted by the World Spider Catalog (As of August 2020).[1]
When included in Myrmarachne, it was placed in subfamily Salticinae (clade Salticoida, tribe Myrmarachnini) in Maddison's 2016 classification of the family Salticidae.[3] Prószyński placed the separate genus in his informal group "myrmarachnines".[2]
Species
(As of August 2020), the World Spider Catalog accepted the following extant species:[1]
- Emertonius exasperans (Peckham & Peckham, 1892) (type species) – Indonesia (Java, Bali)
- Emertonius koomeni Prószyński, 2018 – Malaysia (Borneo)
- Emertonius malayanus (Edmunds & Prószyński, 2003) – Malaysia (peninsula, Borneo), Indonesia (Sumatra, Borneo)
- Emertonius palawensis Prószyński, 2018 – Philippines
- Emertonius shelfordi (Peckham & Peckham, 1907) – Malaysia (Borneo)
