Genus of spiders
Hyllus is a
genus of the
spider family
Salticidae (jumping spiders). Most species occur in
Africa and
Madagascar , with many in
Australasia and north to
India . H. insularis is found in
Greece and
Iran , but it is considered misplaced in this genus,
[1] and is now Evarcha insularis .
[2]
Description
They are medium to large spiders, commonly mistaken by those in the genus
Evarcha . They are usually stout, hairy and dully colored. They usually have horns at the top of the
median eyes formed by long
bristles . They have a rounded
carapace , which is larger than the eye field. Those in the genus Evarcha are usually smaller and their carapace is thinner.
