Family: Salticidae Blackwall, 1841 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spiderfam:0101] Back

Gen. Attulus Simon, 1889 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:02836 ]
N.B.: redefined and seperated from Sitticus Simon, 1901 by Prószyński, 2017: 39; the re-synonymization of Attulus, Calositticus and Hypositticus with Sitticus by Breitling, 2019b: 31 was not accepted, because based mainly on COI (see FAQ 7); Maddison et al., 2020: 11-12 syonymized the genera Sitticus Simon, 1901a: 581 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:03232] (type Araneus terebratus Clerck, 1757), Sitticulus F. Dahl, 1926: 29 (type Attus saltator O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1868), Calositticus Lohmander, 1944: 5 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04474] (type Attus caricis Westring, 1861), Hypositticus Lohmander, 1944: 5 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04475] and Sittipub Prószyński, 2016: 27 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04364] (both with the type Aranea pubescens Fabricius, 1775), Sittiflor Prószyński, 2017a: 43 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04396] (type Euophrys floricola C. L. Koch, 1837), and Sittilong Prószyński, 2017a: 44 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04397] (type Attus longipes Canestrini, 1873), with Attulus; Sitticulus was synonymized with Sitticus by Prószyński, 1973a: 72 (through transfer of type species) and regarded as synonym of Attulus by Prószyński, 2017: 39 (through transfer of type species); Calositticus and Hypositticus were described as subgenera of Sitticus, elevated to genus rank and recognized as senior synonyms of Sittiflor and Sittipub by Blick & Marusik, 2018: 237.
