Talavera is a genus of very small jumping spiders that was first described by George and Elizabeth Peckham in 1909.{{cite journal| last1=Peckham| first1=G. W.| last2=Peckham| first2=E. G.| year=1909| title=Revision of the Attidae of North America| journal=Transactions of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters| pages=355–655| volume=16| issue=1| author-link=George and Elizabeth Peckham| author-link2=George and Elizabeth Peckham}} They average about {{convert|2|mm}} in length, and are very similar to each other.
