蠅虎科或跳蛛科(學名:Salticidae),又名“虩”(讀音同“隙”),是蜘蛛目的一科,也是蝇虎总科的唯一科。 目录 1 分類 2 型態描述 3 參考文獻 4 外部連結 分類 根據ITIS引用的2011年數據,本科之下有570個屬[1]。部分動物學家嘗試將這些屬分類,但結果絕大多數分類仍被歸入跳蛛亞科。 下列部分本科的屬[2]: Carrhotus Clynotis Simon, 1901[3] Diplocanthopoda Abraham, 1925[3] 華蛛屬 Chinattus 1 種 胞蛛屬 Cytaea 1 種 右蛛屬 Dexippus 1 種 侏斑蛛屬 Euophrys[3] 蟆蛛屬 Harmochirus 1 種 遜蠅虎屬 Hasarius 1 種 闪蛛属 Heliophanus 蠅獅屬 Marpissa Koch, 1846[3][4] Mendoza 1 種 Menemerus 1 種 蟻蛛屬 Myrmarachne 7 種 新跳蛛屬 Neon 2 種 盤蛛屬 Pancorius 3 種 Pellenes Simon, 1876[3] 黑條蠅虎屬 Phintella:又名金蟬蛛屬。 Phlegra Simon, 1876[3] Pseudeuophrys Dahl, 1912[3] 斑蠅虎屬 Plexippus 2 種 孔蛛屬 Portia Karsch[5] 兜蠅虎屬 Ptocasius 1 種 Rhene 1 種 Satticus[3] Siler 1 種 褐蠅虎屬 Sitticus[3] 雀躍蛛屬 Spartaeus Thorell:又名散蛛屬[5] Synageles[3] 合蠅虎屬 Synagelides 2 種 Tauala 1 種 紐蛛屬 Telamonia 1 種 方胸蛛屬 Thiania 1 種 Wanlessia 1 種 Yaginumaella 1 種 Zebraplatys 1 種 型態描述 中國廣東粵東地區常見為灰色,背面有黑色斑紋,全身絨毛。 跳蛛有8只单眼,体型较小,最小的只有約一毫米。因其捕獵物的方式,及主要以蒼蠅為食,俗稱蒼蠅老虎;又因視力发达,善於跳躍,亦稱跳蛛。潛近獵物時,先逐步靠近,再跳到獵物身上。 跳蛛一般不織網,但能吐絲,因從樹上等高處摔下危險,預備跳時先帖上一根絲,就像爬山者用岩釘及繩子防止墜落。 蠅虎蜘蛛頭胸部比起其他科是方形的。(見圖一。)頭胸部上的八個眼睛,其中兩個平常比別的都大。(見圖二。) 圖一 圖二 Phidippus whitmani Salticus scenicus 吃蒼蠅 Phidippus audax Phidippus workmani Paraphidippus aurantius ant mimic spider 參考文獻 ^ 1.0 1.1 Salticida

Encyclopedic overview

Jumping spiders are spiders in the family Salticidae, with almost 700 genera and around 7,000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders – comprising 13% of spider species. Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among arthropods — being capable of stereoptic color vision — and use sight in courtship, hunting, and navigation.

Although they normally move unobtrusively and fairly slowly, most species are capable of very agile jumps, notably when hunting, but sometimes in response to sudden threats or crossing long gaps. Both their book lungs and tracheal system are well-developed, and they use both systems (bimodal breathing). Jumping spiders are generally recognized by their eye pattern. All jumping spiders have four pairs of eyes, with the anterior median pair (the two front middle eyes) being particularly large.
