Omoedus is a genus of jumping spiders (family Salticidae).[1]
Taxonomy
Omoedus was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1881.[1][2] In 2015, Junxia Zhang and Wayne Maddison synonymized Pystira with Omoedus,[3] but this was rejected by rejected by Jerzy Prószyński in 2017,[4] and both genera are accepted by the World Spider Catalog as of August 2020.[1][5]
The genus is placed in the subfamily Salticinae, tribe Euophryini.[6]
Species
As of August 2019 it contains seven species, found on Fiji, in Papua New Guinea, on the Aru Islands, and the Moluccas:[1]
