Rhetenor is a genus of beetle mimicking jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1902.[2] As of August 2019 it contains only two species, found only in the United States and Brazil: and R. texanus.[1] The name is a reference to Rhetnor, a character in Ovid's Metamorphoses.[3]
