Remove ads

Thiratoscirtus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first circumscribed by Eugène Louis Simon in 1886.[2] Thiratoscirtus is very diverse and contains many monophyletic groups.[3] Phylogenetic analysis undertaken by Melissa Bonder and Wayne Maddison has shown that it is related to the genera Alfenus, Bacelarella, Longarenus and Malloneta.[4] The genus is also closely related to Nimbarus.[5] It is likely to have diverged between 16.3 and 18.7 million years ago.[6] In 2012, Bodner and Wayne Maddison proposed a subfamily Thiratoscirtinae for the genus and its related genera.[7] This overlapped with a group of genera named Thiratoscirtines after the genus, created by Jerzy Prószyński in 2017.[8] Thiratoscirtus is a member of the subtribe Thiratoscirtina in the tribe Aelurillini.[9] In 2015, Maddison listed the tribe to the subclade Simonida in the clade Saltafresia in the clade Salticoida.[10]
