Type species: Zabkattus brevis Zhang & Maddison View in CoL , sp. nov.

Etymology. The generic name combines “zabk” in honor of Dr. Marek Żabka, who has made great contributions in the study of jumping spider systematics and biodiversity, with “attus”, often used as an ending for salticid genera; masculine in gender.

Diagnosis. Small to medium sized leaf litter dwelling spiders. Body is usually dark brown or brown. Chelicera has two promarginal teeth and one bicuspid retromarginal tooth. Male chelicera usually has a protrusion of varied shape on the front surface. Epigynum has a window with median septum. Spermatheca is usually relatively small. Resembles another leaf litter dwelling genus, Laufeia Simon ( Bohdanowicz & Prószyṅski 1987) in body form, but differs in the shape of genitalia and the presence of a protrusion on the front surface of the male chelicera.
