Taxonomy

First described by Eugène Simon in 1937, Pseudomogrus was synonymized with Yllenus by Jerzy Prószyński in 1968.^[1] In 2016, Prószyński erected a new genus, Logunyllus, for some species of Yllenus.^[3] Logunyllus was declared a junior synonym of Pseudomogrus in 2019.^[1]

Under the synonym Logunyllus, Prószyński placed the genus in his informal group "yllenines", with Yllenus as a representative genus.^[3] In Maddison's 2015 classification of the family Salticidae, Yllenus is placed in the tribe Leptorchestini, part of the Salticoida clade of the subfamily Salticinae.^[4]
