Habronattus pyrrithrix is a species of jumping spider in the family Salticidae.[1][2][3][4] It is found in the southwestern United States and western Mexico.[2][5]

A key predator is the larger jumping spider Phidippus californicus.

The males have bold black stripes, but the females have uniform coloration. The stripes are not known to confer any advantage.[6]
