Damoetas is a monotypic genus of Australian jumping spiders containing the single species, Damoetas nitidus. It was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1886,[2] and is only found in New South Wales and Queensland.[1] Two species that were once in this family, Damoetas christae and Damoetas galianoae have since been moved to Hermosa.[3]
