Pystira is a genus of spiders in the jumping spider family Salticidae. [1]
The genus Pystira was erected by Eugène Simon in 1901 with the type species Pystira ephippigera, which he had originally placed in a different genus (Hadrosoma, no longer in use) when he first described it in 1885. [1] In 2015, Junxia Zhang and Wayne Maddison synonymized Pystira with Omoedus, [2] but this was rejected by Jerzy Prószyński in 2017, [3] and the genus is accepted by the World Spider Catalog as of August 2020 [update]. [1]
When synonymized with Omoedus, the genus was placed in the tribe Euophryini in Maddison's 2015 classification of the family Salticidae. [4] Prószyński placed the separated genus in his informal group euophryines. [3]
As of August 2020 [update], the World Spider Catalog accepted the following extant species: [1]
