Chirothecia
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox Chirothecia is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Władysław Taczanowski in 1878.[1] Chirothecia is very similar to Bellota, but can be distinguished by the following characteristics: a much wider and taller cephalothorax (the width being 70–80% of the length and the height being 38–47% of the length); a much longer eye area (occupying 60–70% of the cephalothorax length); the posterior median eyes are always closer to the anterior lateral eyes than the posterior lateral eyes.[2]
