Taxonomy
The genus Phintelloides was first described in 2019 by N. Kanesharatnam and Benjamin. They studied a group of South Asian spiders that had originally been identified as belonging to the genera Chrysilla and Phintella. Their molecular and morphological phylogenetic analyses showed that there were three distinct groups of species, relatively distant from Chrysilla. Accordingly, they erected two new genera, Phintelloides and Proszynskia. The single most likely cladogram showed that Phintelloides was sister to Phintella, with Proszynskia sister to both:[2]
