"Sassacus cyaneus" is a species of jumping spider. It used to be the only described species of the genus "Agassa", but was transferred to the genus "Sassacus" in 2008. It seems to be closely related to "S. papenhoei", but differs in the form of the carapace [Tree of Life: " [http://tolweb.org/Agassa_cyanea/2876 Agassa] "] .

"S. cyaneus" is native to Sonora in Mexico, and parts of the United States [Salticidae.org: " [http://salticidae.org/salticid/catalog/Agassa.htm Agassa] "] .
