Phaeacius Simon, 1900: 32 View in CoL (Type species: Phaeacius fimbriatus Simon, 1900 View in CoL , by original designation); Wanless, 1981a: 199; 1984a, 190; Wijesinghe, 1991: 249.

Diagnosis. – This genus can be easily distinguished from the closely related genus Portia by the somewhat flattened body; massive retrolateral tibial apophysis of male palp, filamentous secondary conductor (sc, labeled as “M1” in Wanless, 1984a); and the shape of female epigynum.

Remarks. – A small salticid genus containing 11 species from South and Southeast Asia (Prószynski´, 2003).
