The paper comments discussion on how to delimit taxa of Salticidae, initiated by Kropf et al. (2019). It discusses a number of important general issues, including the relative value of precise diagnostic drawings and photos compared to verbal definitions of taxa, which is relevant to hundreds of current taxonomic publications. To illustrate key principles, the paper also analyses the validity of the recent synonymization of the genera Junxattus, Lechia and Orcevia, evaluating the sufficiency and relevance of previously published morphological and molecular data. On the basis of the above (documented on Figs 1-4 below), the following momenclatural changes are introduced: Gen. Junxattus Prószyński & Deeleman-Reinhold, 2012 revalidated (type species Junxattus daiqini); Gen. Lechia Zabka, 1985 revalidated (type species Lechia squamata); Gen. Orcevia Thorell, 1890 revalidated (type species Orcevia keyserlingii). The placement of female of Laufeia concava and male (only!) of Laufeia squamata are erroneous and require generic transfer. Lechia minuta (Prószyński, 1992) is misplaced too, belonging neither to Laufeia nor to Euoprys, it should be provisionally listed as Lechia (according to latest documented reference) until revisionary research of fauna of its area yields additional material to clarify its correct placement.
