Toxeus (spider)

Toxeus is a genus of jumping spiders first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1846.[1] The genus was synonymized with Myrmarachne by Eugène Simon in 1901, and remained a synonym until revived by Jerzy Prószyński in 2016,[2] when he split up Myrmarachne.[3]

Prószyński placed Toxeus in his informal group "myrmarachnines".[3] When synonymized with Myrmarachne, it was placed in the tribe Myrmarachnini, part of the Salticoida clade of the subfamily Salticinae in Maddison's 2015 classification of the family Salticidae.[4]
