CATALOGUE OF SALTICIDAE (ARANEAE)
synthesis of quotations in the world literature since 1940,  with basic taxonomic data since 1758
[Version July, 2002]

Gen. Attulus Simon, 1889 = Sitticus Simon, 1901

type: helevolus = Sitticus distinguendus

 
   NB. Relationships between Attulus and Sitticus are set provisionally by the relevant research during last 20 years. 
  Owing to common usage of name Sitticus it seems not advisable to replace it by relatively much less used Attulus. 
  Pending further research, it is proposed now by mutual agreement of interested specialists (M.E. Galiano, J. Proszynski,
   F.R. Wanless) to delay any changes in names of these taxa until further studies will permit to either separate a natural 
   group of species related to A. helveolus as revived genus Attulus sensu novo, leaving remaining species within Sitticus,
   or to rename all Sitticus following the priority rule. We do strongly object, however, to sumarily change of names prior 
   to completion of  the above mentioned research. J.Proszynski (written in early 1980ties).
