Talavera is a
genus of very small
jumping spiders that was first described by
George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1909.[2] They average about 2 millimetres (0.079 in) in length, and are very similar to each other. In particular, the Central European species are difficult to distinguish, even when their genital features are studied under a microscope.[3] The name refers to
Talavera, a region of Spain where many have been found.
Species
As of August 2019[update] it contains sixteen species and one subspecies, found in Europe, Asia, the
United States, and
Canada:[1]
