Yllenus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1868. [2] Until 2019, [3] it was considered a senior synonym of Pseudomogrus, and many of the species formerly placed here were transferred to new genera Logunyllus and Marusyllus by Jerzy Prószyński in 2016. [4]
Y. arenarius is peculiar in building silken nests under the sand surface of sandy dunes it inhabits. [5]
As of September 2019 [update] it contains eighteen species, found from central Europe to China: [1]
