Pochytoides is a genus of African jumping spiders that was first described by Wanda Wesołowska in 2020. [1]
The group was first described by Berland and Millot in 1941 as a subgenus of the genus Pochyta. [2] It was elevated to a full genus by Wanda Wesołowska in 2018. [3] However, neither name was valid as no type species had been given. Wesołowska corrected this in 2020, designating Pochyta poissoni. [1]
Like Pochyta, Pochytoides is placed in the tribe Aelurillini in the Salticoida clade of the subfamily Salticinae. [3]
As of October 2022 [update] the genus contained eleven species. All species are known from Guinea and/or Ivory Coast: [4]
