> Dr. G.B. Edwards comments: I formally resurrected Paraphidippus (in Edwards 2004: 13) and transferred many species back to it from Eris. I also described how the structure of the embolus was different between Eris and Paraphidippus (especially the size and location of the basal portion of the embolus). ... Hedin and Maddison 2001 (who list the species as Paraphidippus aurantius Lucas) showed by molecular analysis that Phidippus and Paraphidippus were sister genera, whereas Eris was closer to Pelegrina<.
