Bellota is also a homonym of the plant genus Beilschmiedia.

Bellota is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by George Peckham & Elizabeth Peckham in 1892. It is similar in appearance to the genus Chirothecia, but has a narrower cephalothorax and a shorter eye area. The type species was later designated as Bellota peckhami Galiano, 1978, from a male specimen previously misidentied by the Peckham's as Bellota formicina (Taczanowski, 1878), per Galiano, 1978.
