Taxonomy
The genus Manzuma was erected in 2020 by Galina Azarkina as part of a study of some genera placed in the subtribe Aelurillina,[2] part of the tribe Aelurillini, clade Salticoida, subfamily Salticinae in Wayne Maddison's 2015 classification of the family Salticidae.[3] Azarkina found that species formerly placed in Rafalus, Aelurillus and Langelurillus were similar and distinct from the type species of these genera. Accordingly, she erected a new genus, transferring four species and describing three new ones.[2]
