''Cosmophasis'' is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders). Some species occur in Africa, while most are found in Southeast Asia, down to Australia. Although most species more or less mimic ants, there are also colorful species〔Jerzy Proszynski: (''Cosmophasis'' )〕 that follow a different strategy. ''C. bitaeniata'' uses chemical mimicry to be accepted by the aggressive weaver ant species ''Oecophylla smaragdina''.〔Nelson ''et al.'' 2006〕 One species, said to be not a particularly good ant mimic, was observed living near and preying on ants. According to (Murphy & Murphy, 2000), "to watch the spider stalking and killing its prey is an arachnological spectacular".〔Murphy & Murphy 2000: 304〕 ==Species== * ''Cosmophasis albipes'' Berland & Millot, 1941 — Guinea * ''Cosmophasis albomaculata'' Schenkel, 1944 — Timor * ''Cosmophasis arborea'' Berry, Beatty & Prószyński, 1997 — Caroline Islands * ''Cosmophasis australis'' Simon, 1902 — South Africa * ''Cosmophasis bitaeniata'' (Keyserling, 1882) — New Guinea, Australia, Micronesia * ''Cosmophasis caerulea'' Simon, 1901 — West Africa * ''Cosmophasis chlorophthalma'' (Simon, 1898) — New Hebrides * ''Cosmophasis chopardi'' Berland & Millot, 1941 — Ivory Coast * ''Cosmophasis cypria'' (Thorell, 1890) — Java * ''Cosmophasis depilata'' Caporiacco, 1940 — Ethiopia * ''Cosmophasis estrellaensis'' Barrion & Litsinger, 1995 — Philippines * ''Cosmophasis fagei'' Lessert, 1925 — East Africa * ''Cosmophasis fazanica'' Caporiacco, 1936 — Libya * ''Cosmophasis gemmans'' (Thorell, 1890) — Sumatra * ''Cosmophasis lami'' Berry, Beatty & Prószyński, 1997 — Fiji * ''Cosmophasis laticlavia'' (Thorell, 1892) — Sumatra * ''Cosmophasis longiventris'' Simon, 1903 — Vietnam * ''Cosmophasis lucidiventris'' Simon, 1910 — Gabon * ''Cosmophasis maculiventris'' Strand, 1911 — Aru Islands * ''Cosmophasis marxi'' (Thorell, 1890) — Sumatra, Java * ''Cosmophasis masarangi'' Merian, 1911 — Sulawesi * ''Cosmophasis micans'' (L.
