Binomial name
Wallaba metallica

(Mello-Leitão, 1940)[1]

Wallaba is a monotypic genus of Guyanese jumping spiders containing the single species, Wallaba metallica. It was first described by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1940,[2] and is found in Guyana.[1] It was synonymized with Sidusa in 2015,[3] but was revalidated by Jerzy Prószyński in 2017.[4]

Prószyński placed Wallaba in his informal group "euophryines".[4] When synonymized with Sidusa, it was placed in the large tribe Euophryini, part of the Salticoida clade of the subfamily Salticinae in Maddison's 2015 classification of the family Salticidae.[5]
