''Maratus'' is a spider genus of the family Salticidae (jumping spiders). These spiders are commonly referred to as peacock spiders due to their colorful abdominal flaps that they display during courtship. In at least one species, ''Maratus vespertilio'', the expansion of the flaps also occurs during ritualised contests between males. All described species are endemic to Australia. Several species in this genus were earlier classified in the genus ''Saitis'', containing the Mediterranean ''Saitis barbipes'', which is superficially similar to ''Maratus'' (colorful males with enlarged third pair of legs). ''Maratus'' live on the ground or in low bushes. ==Species== There are 43 species of ''Maratus'': The only non-Australian species, ''M furvus'' from China, cannot be linked to any genus with certainty. * ''Maratus amabilis'' Karsch 1878 * ''Maratus anomaliformis'' (Żabka 1987) * ''Maratus anomalus'' (Karsch 1878) * ''Maratus avibus'' Otto & Hill 2014 * ''Maratus bitaeniatus'' (Keyserling 1882) * ''Maratus caeruleus'' Waldock 2013 * ''Maratus calcitrans'' Otto & Hill 2012 * ''Maratus chloropthalmus'' (Simon 1909) * ''Maratus chrysomelas'' (Simon 1909) * ''Maratus dialeucus'' (L.
