Pystira is a genus of spiders in the jumping spider family Salticidae.[1]
Taxonomy
The genus Pystira was erected by Eugène Simon in 1901 with the type species Pystira ephippigera, which he had originally placed in a different genus (Hadrosoma, no longer in use) when he first described it in 1885.[1] In 2015, Junxia Zhang and Wayne Maddison synonymized Pystira with Omoedus,[2] but this was rejected by Jerzy Prószyński in 2017,[3] and the genus is accepted by the World Spider Catalog (As of August 2020).[1]
When synonymized with Omoedus, the genus was placed in the tribe Euophryini in Maddison's 2015 classification of the family Salticidae.[4] Prószyński placed the separated genus in his informal group euophryines.[3]
Species
(As of August 2020), the World Spider Catalog accepted the following extant species:[1]
- Pystira cyanothorax (Thorell, 1881) – New Guinea
- Pystira ephippigera (Simon, 1885) (type species) – Sumatra
- Pystira karschi (Thorell, 1881) – New Guinea, Aru Islands
- Pystira nigripalpis (Thorell, 1877) – Sulawesi
- Pystira versicolor Dyal, 1935 – Pakistan
