Attinella is a genus of North American jumping spiders. It was first described by Nathan Banks in 1905 based on the type species Attinella dorsata (originally Attus dorsatus).[3] As of March 2022[update] it contains only three species: A. concolor, A. dorsata, and A. juniperi.[1] It was synonymized with Sitticus from 1979[4] to 2017, when the genus Sittiab was split from Sitticus by Prószyński in 2017,[5] and Attinella was recognized as its senior synonym.[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]
