Thianitara is a genus of Southeast Asian jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1903.[2] As of August 2019 it contains only two species, found in Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia: T. spectrum and T. thailandica.[1] It was briefly considered a junior synonym of Thiania[3] until 2017, when it was revived by Jerzy Prószyński.[4]

Species

Prószyński placed Thianitara in his informal group "euophryines".[4] When synonymized with Thiania, it was placed in the large tribe Euophryini, part of the Salticoida clade of the subfamily Salticinae in Maddison's 2015 classification of the family Salticidae.[5]
