Sittipub Prószyński, 2016 | |
Hypositticus is a genus of spiders in the Salticidae family (jumping spiders). It was first split off from Sitticus as a separate genus by Prószyński in 2016. (As of 2017), it contains two species.[1]
Taxonomy
Hypositticus is one of a number of genera that were split off from the broadly defined genus Sitticus by Jerzy Prószyński in 2016 and 2017.[2] In 2016, Prószyński used the genus name Sittipub, derived from the first parts of the generic and specific names of Sitticus pubescens.[3] It was later discovered that Sittipub was pre-empted by Hypositticus, a name first used by Lohmander in 1944.[4]
Species
(As of September 2018), the World Spider Catalog accepted the following species:[1]
- Hypositticus pubescens (Fabricius, 1775) (type species) – Europe, North Africa to Turkey, Afghanistan; introduced to USA
- Hypositticus relictarius (Logunov, 1998) – Russia, Georgia, Iran, Azerbaijan
