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

Like "Holcolaetis" and "Thiania bhamoensis", these spiders build a flat, densely woven egg sac that is not contiguous with the silk of the nest. "Euryattus" posits the egg sac in rolled up leaves, similar to "T. bhamoensis", which is in the same subfamily and stitches two leaves together.Li, D., Yik, S.H. & Seah, W.K. (2002). Rivet-like nest-building and agonistic behaviour of "Thiania bhamoensis", an iridescent jumping spider (Araneae: Salticidae) from Singapore. 50(1):143-151.
