A genus of small jumping spiders characterized by specific body proportions and eye arrangements, found in various regions.
From Greek em- (in) + Greek baphe (dipping, dyeing), possibly referring to color patterns or marking characteristics that resemble dipped or dyed colors.
These tiny jumping spiders have some of the best vision in the arthropod world despite their millimeter-sized eyes—they can see ultraviolet colors and even backward, and they perform elaborate 'dance' courtship displays that change based on light conditions.
