Phintelloides is a genus of Asian jumping spiders erected by N. Kanesharatnam and Benjamin in 2019 after a molecular phylogenetic study of similar Asian Salticidae species. The single most likely cladogram shows that Phintelloides is sister to Phintella, with Proszynskia sister to both:[2]

Proszynskia

Phintelloides

Phintella

The name is a combination of the "Phintell", referring to the genus Phintella, and the Latin suffix "-oides", meaning "like".[2]

Species

As of April 2022 it contains eleven species:[1]
