Zenodorus (spider)

Zenodorus is a genus of the jumping spiders distributed from the Moluccas to Australia, including several islands of the Pacific.[2] It was once considered a junior synonym of Omoedus,[3] but this was later rejected.[4] At least one species, Z. orbiculatus, specializes on hunting ants.[5]
