'''''Euryattus''''' is a [genus](/source/genus) of [spider](/source/spider)s in the family [Salticidae](/source/Salticidae) (jumping spiders).<ref name=WSC_g2643>{{cite web | url=http://www.wsc.nmbe.ch/genus/2643 | title=Gen. Euryattus Thorell, 1881 | publisher=World Spider Catalog | accessdate=7 March 2016}}</ref>

Like ''[Holcolaetis](/source/Holcolaetis)'' and ''[Thiania bhamoensis](/source/Thiania_bhamoensis)'', these spiders build a flat, densely woven [egg sac](/source/egg_sac) that is not contiguous with the silk of the nest. ''Euryattus'' posits the egg sac in rolled up leaves, similar to ''T. bhamoensis'', which is in the same subfamily and stitches two leaves together.<ref name=Li2002>Li, D., Yik, S.H. & Seah, W.K. (2002). Rivet-like nest-building and agonistic behaviour of ''Thiania bhamoensis'', an iridescent jumping spider (Araneae: Salticidae) from Singapore. 50(1):143-151.
