Diversity
12 species

Of all 150 salticid genera known from Australia and the entire Pacific, only Chalcotropis, Donoessus and Panysinus resemble Xenocytaea.

Name

The genus name is a combination of Greek ξένος "strange, foreign" and the salticid genus Cytaea. This indicates that despite the similarity of the two genera in male palpal structure, this group of species does not belong in Cytaea.

Species

As of March 2018, the World Spider Catalog lists the following species in the genus:[2]

gollark: Doesn't raw disk I/O generally need root?
gollark: Ah, it is, and quite a recent one even.
gollark: I think it was one of their NUC lines.
gollark: __···__
gollark: I doubt they've totally cancelled the discrete graphics thing, there's a contract for them in a supercomputer, but it will probably be very late.
