Lyssomanes Hentz, 1845

Lyssomanes is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders). Approximately 80 species have been described, ranging from South and Central America, up to the southern United States.

They are long-legged, with translucent bodies frequently green or yellow. They resemble lynx spiders, except that they have large anterior median eyes.

Habitat[edit]

Lyssomanes are typically found in foliage in mesic habitats.^{[citation needed]}
