Yllenus is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders), found from central Europe to China.[1]

Y. arenarius is peculiar in building silken nests under the sand surface of sandy dunes it inhabits.[2]

Species

Many of the species formerly placed in this genus were transferred to new genera Logunyllus and Marusyllus by Jerzy Prószyński in 2016.[3][1]

As of March 2017, the World Spider Catalog accepted the following species:[1]

  • Yllenus arenarius Simon, 1868 (type species) – Central, Eastern Europe
