Marusyllus is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae, found in Russia, Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent and China.

Taxonomy

The genus Marusyllus was erected by Jerzy Prószyński in 2016 when he split the genus Yllenus into three (the other genus being Logunyllus, now considered a synonym of Pseudomogrus). Prószyński placed the three genera in his informal group "yllenines". Yllenus sensu lato is placed in the tribe Leptorchestini, part of the Salticoida clade in the subfamily Salticinae.
