    North American Euophrys jumping spiders

    A genus of small jumping spiders in the family Salticidae, tribe Euophryini. First described by G.B. Edwards in 2003, the name is a portmanteau of 'North America' and 'Euophrys'. Species are compact-bodied, typically under 5 mm in length, with cryptic brown or gray coloration. Originally considered restricted to the Nearctic region, but subsequent research has demonstrated distribution extending into the Neotropical region. The genus currently includes seven described species, with four originally described from the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and three additional species described from Mexico in 2024.
