Euophrys petrensis C. L. Koch, 1837, is a genuine member of the genus Talavera (Araneae: Salticidae)

The small jumping spider Euophrys petrensis C. L. Koch, 1837, combines morphological characters of both Euophrys s. str. and Talavera, and its generic placement has consequently been contentious. After many years of being placed in Talavera, the species has recently been transferred back to Euophrys. Here, public DNA barcoding data are used to confirm that the species should be placed in the genus Talavera, as T. petrensis, stat. rev., as is also indicated by several putative morphological synapomorphies identified earlier.
