Selimus is a genus of jumping spiders found in Brazil. As of 2017[update], it contains only one species, Selimus venustus.[1] The species name is derived from Latin venustus "charming".
Saaristo (2006) erroneously erected a genus of the same name in the family Theridiidae for the species Anelosimus placens, described by Blackwall in 1877 as Theridion placens, and moved to Anelosimus by Saaristo (1978). If this new genus is valid it will have to be renamed.[2]
