Taxonomy
Emertonius was first described by George and [Elizabeth Peckham] in 1892. It was variously treated as a synonym of Myrmarachne or a separate genus from 1978 onwards. Jerzy Prószyński revalidated the genus in 2018, and it is accepted by the World [Spider Catalog] as of 2020.When included in Myrmarachne, it was placed in subfamily Salticinae in Maddison's 2016 classification of the family Salticidae. Prószyński placed the separate genus in his informal group "myrmarachnines".
