Oh my goodness! Unless you are a Tree of Life developer, you really shouldn't be here. This page is part of our beta test site, where we develop new features for the ToL, often messing up a thing or two in the process. Please visit the official version of this page, which is available here.

Introduction

A traditional nomenclatural approach would dictate that the subfamily Salticinae must exist, but to date no clear concept of it has been proposed. Salticus, with its palpi waving as it walks, reminds one behaviorally of Menemerus, Chrysilla and the heliophanines. There are preliminary indications of a synapomorphy concerning glands in the tegulum that would unite Salticus with some or all of these groups.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
