Synonyms[1]

Pellenes is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1876.[3] It is considered a senior synonym of Hyllothyene.[2]

They are dark to black with white stripes on the back, and often have bright red markings. Most species have a special propensity for snail shells. Pellenes seriatus and P. lapponicus males look very similar to Hasarius adansoni when viewed from the front.
