Hyllus is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders). Most species occur in Africa and Madagascar, with many in Australasia and north to India. H. insularis is found in Greece and Iran, but it is considered misplaced in this genus,[1] and is now Evarcha insularis.[2]
Description

They are medium to large spiders, commonly mistaken by those in the genus Evarcha. They are usually stout, hairy and dully colored. They usually have horns at the top of the median eyes formed by long bristles. They have a rounded carapace, which is larger than the eye field. Those in the genus Evarcha are usually smaller and their carapace is thinner.[3]

Name

Hyllus was the son of Heracles and Deianira in Greek mythology.
