Chrysilla is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1887.[2] Several species formerly placed here were transferred to Phintella, and vice versa.[1] Females are 3 to 4 millimetres (0.12 to 0.16 in) long, and males are 4 to 9 millimetres (0.16 to 0.35 in) long.[3] The genus is Persian, derived from the Greek Χρύσιλλα.[4]
