Chirothecia is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Władysław Taczanowski in 1878. [3] Chirothecia is very similar to Bellota, but can be distinguished by the following characteristics: a much wider and taller cephalothorax (the width being 70–80% of the length and the height being 38–47% of the length); a much longer eye area (occupying 60–70% of the cephalothorax length); the posterior median eyes are always closer to the anterior lateral eyes than the posterior lateral eyes. [4]
Species
As of June 2019 [update] it contains thirteen species, found only in South America and Panama: [1]
- Chirothecia amazonica Simon, 1901 – Brazil
- Chirothecia botucatuensis Bauab, 1980 – Brazil
- Chirothecia clavimana (Taczanowski, 1871) ( type) – Brazil, Guyana
- Chirothecia crassipes Taczanowski, 1878 – Peru
- Chirothecia daguerrei Galiano, 1972 – Argentina
- Chirothecia euchira (Simon, 1901) – Brazil, Argentina

- Chirothecia soaresi Bauab, 1980 – Brazil
- Chirothecia soesilae Makhan, 2006 – Suriname
