Lyssomanes is a spider genus of the family Salticidae (jumping spiders), ranging from South and Central America, up to the southern United States.[1]
There have been described 94 extant and two fossil species[2][3] from the Neotropical Region. The genera Lyssomanes, Chinoscopus, Hindumanes, and Sumakuru make up the Lyssomaninae, which is one of the six deeply-diverging subfamilies of jumping spiders.[4]
They are long-legged, with translucent bodies frequently green or yellow. They resemble lynx spiders, except that they have large anterior median eyes.
Lyssomanes are typically found in foliage in mesic habitats.
