Attinella is a genus of North American jumping spiders. It was first described by Nathan Banks in 1905 based on the type species Attinella dorsata (originally Attus dorsatus). [3] As of March 2022 [update] it contains only three species: A. concolor, A. dorsata, and A. juniperi. [1] It was synonymized with Sitticus from 1979 [4] to 2017, when the genus Sittiab was split from Sitticus by Prószyński in 2017, [5] and Attinella was recognized as its senior synonym. [2]
Phylogeny
Attinella is placed in the tribe Sitticini within the family Salticidae. In 2020, Wayne Maddison and co-workers divided the tribe Sitticini into two subtribes, Aillutticina and Sitticina. Attinella was placed in Sitticina, within a clade whose sister was the genus Attulus. The relationship between these taxa is shown in the following cladogram. [2]
