Attus is a taxon name that is now considered a junior synonym of Salticus. In the early 19th century, most jumping spiders were grouped together as a single genus under the name Attus. The genus was originally described in 1805 by Charles Walckenaer, only a year after Pierre Latreille described the first jumping spider genus (or subgenus), Salticus. Wikipedia →
