Attinella is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae (jumping spiders).[1]
Taxonomy[]
Attinella was first described by Nathan Banks in 1905 based on the type species Attinella dorsata (originally Attus dorsatus). In 1979, David B. Richman declared it a synonym of Sitticus. In 2017, the genus Sittiab was split off of Sitticus by Prószyński, based on the type species Sitticus absolutus (later synonymized with Attinella dorsata). In 2020, Wayne Maddison et al. revalidated Attinella and declared it a senior synonym of Sittiab.[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]
