Thiratoscirtus
Thiratoscirtus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first circumscribed by Eugène Louis Simon in 1886. Thiratoscirtus is very diverse and contains many monophyletic groups. Phylogenetic analysis undertaken by Melissa Bonder and Wayne Maddison has shown that it is related to the genera Alfenus, Bacelarella, Longarenus and Malloneta. The genus is also closely related to Nimbarus. It is likely to have diverged between 16.3 and 18.7 million years ago. In 2012, Bodner and Wayne Maddison proposed a subfamily Thiratoscirtinae for the genus and its related genera. This overlapped with a group of genera named Thiratoscirtines after the genus, created by Jerzy Prószyński in 2017. Thiratoscirtus is a member of the subtribe Thiratoscirtina in the tribe Aelurillini. In 2015, Maddison listed the tribe to the subclade Simonida in the clade Saltafresia in the clade Salticoida.
