Erasinus is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders).

Contents

All three described species are only know from males. Simon thought that they were close to Viciria. Judging from the shape of the male palp of E. gracilis, it belongs to the same genus as Epeus, which was split from Viciria in 1984.

Erasinus labiatus was transferred to Portia by Fred R. Wanless in 1978.

Name

Erasinos was a river god of Arkadia and Argos in southern Greece.
