Emertonius is a genus of spiders in the jumping spider family Salticidae.^[1]

Taxonomy[]

Emertonius was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1892.^[1] It was variously treated as a synonym of Myrmarachne or a separate genus from 1978 onwards. Jerzy Prószyński revalidated the genus in 2018,^[2] and it is accepted by the World Spider Catalog as of August 2020.^[1]

When included in Myrmarachne, it was placed in subfamily Salticinae (clade Salticoida, tribe Myrmarachnini) in Maddison's 2016 classification of the family Salticidae.^[3] Prószyński placed the separate genus in his informal group "myrmarachnines".^[2]

Species[]

As of August 2020, the World Spider Catalog accepted the following extant species:^[1]

(Peckham & Peckham, 1892) (type species) – Indonesia (Java, Bali)
Prószyński, 2018 – Malaysia (Borneo)
(Edmunds & Prószyński, 2003) – Malaysia (peninsula, Borneo), Indonesia (Sumatra, Borneo)
Prószyński, 2018 – Philippines
(Peckham & Peckham, 1907) – Malaysia (Borneo)
