Genus of spiders From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
Spartaeus is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1891.[2] These spiders build large sheet webs on tree trunks to capture prey, mostly moths. When walking, they wave their palps and legs in an unusual way.[3]
The genus was renamed from Boethus in 1984 because the name was found to be preoccupied.[1] It is named after the son of the Rhodian nymph Himalia and Zeus in Greek mythology.
