The Lyssomaninae are a subfamily of jumping spiders, with eight described genera.

The Lyssomaninae are not part of the Salticoida, to which about 95% of all salticid species belong.

Six of these genera occur only in the Old World:
* "Asemonea" O. P.-Cambridge, 1869 — Africa, Madagascar, Asia, Australia (20 species)
* "Goleba" Wanless, 1980 — Africa, Madagascar, Seychelles (5 species)
* "Macopaeus" Simon, 1900 — Madagascar (1 species)
* "Onomastus" Simon, 1900 — Sri Lanka, India, Vietnam, Borneo, Japan (6 species)
* "Pachyonomastus" Caporiacco, 1947 — East Africa (1 species)
* "Pandisus" Simon, 1900 — Madagascar, India (6 species)

The two remaining genera occur only in the New World:
* "Chinoscopus" Simon, 1901 — South America (4 species)
* "Lyssomanes" Hentz, 1845 — Florida to South America (80 species)
