Family: Salticidae Blackwall, 1841 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spiderfam:0101] Back

Gen. Colopsus Simon, 1902 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04719 ]
N.B.: considered a synonym of Evarcha Simon, 1902 by Prószyński, 1984a: 51, revalidated by Kanesharatnam & Benjamin, 2021: 2771; considered a senior synponym of Cheliceroides Żabka, 1985 by Logunov, 2021e: 1022 and revalidated by Lin, Yang & Zhang, 2024: 248; Colopsus does not include the type species of Evacin Prószyński, 2018b (type Evarcha kochi Simon, 1902) and thus Evacin is not a synonym of Colopsus (contra Blick & Marusik, 2018: 237).
