spider genus of theSalticidae family (jumping spiders). Its only described species "S. venustus" is found inBrazil .Saaristo (2006) erroneously erected a genus of the same name in the family
Theridiidae for the species "Anelosimus placens ", described by Blackwall in 1877 as "Theridion placens", and moved to "Anelosimus " by Saaristo (1978). If this new genus is valid it will have to be renamed [ [http://research.amnh.org/entomology/spiders/catalog/THERIDIIDAE.html World Spider Catalog 8.5] ] .Name
The species name is derived from
Latin "venustus" "charming".Footnotes
