The Salticoida are a group of jumping spiders. Most salticid genera (about 95% of all described species) belong to this clade, with all others believed to be basal to the Salticidae.
Among the subfamilies in this clade are the following:[1]
- Euophryinae
- Freyinae
- Heliophaninae
- Salticinae
- Marpissoida
-
- Dendryphantinae
- Ballinae
- Synagelinae
- Marpissinae
- Itata
- Plexippoida
-
- Pelleninae
- Plexippinae
- Amycoida
-
- Thiodininae
- Amycinae
- Synemosyninae
- Hyetussinae
- Sitticinae
- Hurieae
- Hisponinae
The Amycoida form a large neotropical radiation from which only the related Sitticus and Attulus have reached the Old World. The Marpissoida are also mainly found in the New World. The Plexippoida are, except for Habronattus, an Old World group, as are the Heliophaninae. This suggests that much of the diversification of the salticids occurred after the separation of the continents of Old and New World.[2]
Among the salticids not included in the Salticoida are:
- Lyssomaninae
- Spartaeinae
- Hisponinae
- "Lapsiines": Lapsias, Galianora, Thrandina
- Heratemita
- Platycryptus
- Maevia
- Mantisatta
- Metacyrba
- Carrhotus
- Helpis
- Lagnus
- Orthrus
- Paramarpissa
- Phlegra
- Trite
- Psecas
- Hasarius
- Ligurra
- Eupoa
