Salticinae is a subfamily of jumping spiders (family Salticidae). It includes over 90% of the known species of jumping spiders. The subfamily is divided into two unranked clades: Amycoida and Salticoida.

Description

Members of the subfamily Salticinae have a number of features in common that distinguish them from the remaining salticids. Females lack a tarsal claw on the pedipalp. The palpal bulb of male basal salticids has a distinctive median apophysis, which is absent in the subfamily, and the cymbium is constricted at the tibial joint. Members also have a more complex tracheal system, which may be connected with their movements, which are more abrupt than other salticids, giving them a recognizable gait.

Taxonomy

Phylogeny

The relationships among the basal salticids are not yet fully resolved; summary cladograms published in both 2014 and 2015 show unresolved branching for five basal subfamilies. However, Hisponinae is resolved as sister to Salticinae, which is the most derived subfamily. |label1=Salticidae |1={{clade |1=Onomastinae |2=Asemoneinae |3=Lyssomaninae |4=Spartaeinae |5=Eupoinae |6={{clade |1=Hisponinae |2={{clade |label1=Salticinae |1={{clade |1=Amycoida |2=Salticoida

Classification

In 2015, Wayne Maddison divided the subfamily into 27 tribes with a total of about 540 extant genera. The tribes were grouped into a number of clades.

Subfamily Salticinae :clade Amycoida – 9 tribes :clade Salticoida – 18 tribes in total, most grouped into three subclades: ::basal – 2 tribes ::Astioida – 5 tribes ::Marpissoida – 3 tribes ::Saltafresia – 8 tribes
