Megaeupoa is a small genus of Asian jumping spiders first described by Y. J. Lin and S. Q. Li in 2020.[2] It was not explicitly assigned to a position within the Salticidae, but the name Megaeupoa refers to the "evolutionary relationship" of the genus (Megaeupoa means 'large Eupoa').[2] As of March 2022[update] it contains only two species: M. gravelyi and M. yanfengi.[1]
