''Saitis barbipes'' is a common jumping spider in the Mediterranean region, where it can be found on houses and rocks, as well as indoors.

The Australian "peacock spider", ''Maratus volans'', has a range of superficial similarities to the species, such as green eyes, and an enlarged third pair of legs used for courtship. Recent work suggests that ''Saitis barbipes'' and ''Maratus volans'' are closely related.
