Hermosa is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae. It was first described in 1892 by George and Elizabeth Peckham. As of 2019[update], it contains 7 species.[1]
Taxonomy
First described in 1892 by George and Elizabeth Peckham, Hermosa was synonymized with Myrmarachne in 1901 by Eugène Simon. In 2016, Jerzy Prószyński split up Myrmarachne, creating nine new genera (all with names beginning "Myrm"). One of them was Myrmavola. Prószyński included Myrmavola volatilis in his new genus, but this is the type species of Hermosa, so Myrmavola is a junior synonym of Hermosa.[1][2]
Prószyński placed Myrmavola in his informal group "myrmarachnines". Myrmarachne sensu lato is placed in the tribe Myrmarachnini, part of the Salticoida clade of the subfamily Salticinae.[3]
