Spartaeus spiders legs are unusually long and slender.

These unusual Jumping Spiders of the sub-family Spartaeinae have a different eye arrangement compared to other Jumping Spiders. Whereas the posterior median eyes (i.e., the eyes in the second row) of most Jumping Spiders are tiny, this category of Jumping Spiders' posterior median eyes are fairly big.

These include spiders in the genera Cocalus, Phaeacius, Portia and Spartaeus.
