Euryattus [SEP] parent taxon
Euryattus
Euryattus is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae (jumping spiders).
Like "Holcolaetis" and "Thiania bhamoensis", these spiders build a flat, densely woven egg sac that is not contiguous with the silk of the nest. "Euryattus" posits the egg sac in rolled up leaves, similar to "T. bhamoensis", which is in the same subfamily and stitches two leaves together.
Etymology.
The genus name is a compound of Ancient Greek "eury" "wide" and
the common salticid ending "-attus".
