Synemosyninae is a subfamily of spiders belonging to the family Salticidae, the order Araneae and the class Arachnida. They are distributed throughout Oceania and America.[1]

Description

They are ant-like salticids and are commonly found in tropical regions. The front legs are curved like antennae. In the male palpal bulbs, the embolus is fixed to the tegulum. In many cases the embolus is long and curls around the top of the cymbium.[2]
