Abstract
The Japanese jumping spiders classified now into genus Phintella STRAND in BÖSENBERG et STRAND, 1906, were previously classified by various authors into Chira PECKHAM, 1896; Chrysilla THORELL, 1887; Euophrys C. L. KOCH, 1834; Icius SIMON, 1876; Jotus L. KOCH, 1881; Telamonia THORELL, 1887. Most of these genera were, however, based on type species not congeneric with the Japanese Phintella. Redescriptions are also given of types of Euophrys aninotatus BÖSENBERG et STRAND, 1906 and Chira albiocciput BÖSENBERG et STRAND, 1906. They found to be synonyms of Phintella castriesiana (GRUBE, 1861) and Ph. versicolor (C. L. KOCH, 1846) respectively.
