Sympolymnia is a genus of ant-mimicking spiders in the family Salticidae (jumping spiders).[2]
Etymology
The genus name is a combination of Ancient Greek "sym" ("with"), and Polymnia, one of the Greek muses.[1]
S. cutleri honors arachnologist Bruce E. Cutler. "Shinahota" refers to a place with many ants in the local Yuracaré language.[1]
