Talavera is a genus of very small jumping spiders that was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1909. [2] They average about 2 millimetres (0.079 in) in length, and are very similar to each other. In particular, the Central European species are difficult to distinguish, even when their genital features are studied under a microscope. [3] The name refers to Talavera, a region of Spain where many have been found.

Species

As of August 2019 it contains sixteen species and one subspecies, found in Europe, Asia, the United States, and Canada: [1]
