Jumping spiders are spiders in the family Salticidae, with almost 700 genera and around 7,000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders – comprising 13% of spider species. Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among arthropods — being capable of stereoptic color vision — and use sight in courtship, hunting, and navigation. Although they normally move unobtrusively and fairly slowly, most species are capable of very agile jumps, notably when hunting, but sometimes in response to sudden threats or crossing long gaps.

Pelegrina es un género de arañas araneomorfas de la familia Salticidae (arañas saltadoras). Se encuentra en Sudamérica y Centroamérica y las Antillas. La mayoría de las especies de Pelegrina se colocaron previamente en el género de los Metaphidippus.
