The harmochirine jumping spiders include the New World Habronattus, notable for their complex courtship displays, and Pellenes, found throughout the Old World and North America. Five new species of Habronattus and one new species of Pellenes are here described from North America: Habronattus aestus, sp. n., H. chamela sp. n., H. empyrus sp. n., H. luminosus sp. n., H. roberti sp. n., and Pellenes canadensis sp. n. For each of the new species, photographs of living specimens are given, as well as notes on habitat. The new subgenus Pellenattus is described for the subgroup of Pellenes restricted to North America, with type species Pellenes peninsularis Emerton, 1925. Species placed in Pellenes (Pellenattus) are Pellenes apacheus Lowrie & Gertsch, 1955, P. canadensis sp. n., P. crandalli Lowrie & Gertsch, 1955, P. dorsalis (Banks, 1898b), P. grammaticus Chamberlin 1925, P. levii Lowrie & Gertsch, 1955, P. limatus Peckham & Peckham, 1901, P. longimanus Emerton, 1913, P. peninsularis Emerton, 1925, P. shoshonensis Gertsch, 1934, and P. washonus Lowrie & Gertsch, 1955. Pellenes wrighti Lowrie & Gertsch, 1955 is synonymized with P. peninsularis. Attention is drawn to an undescribed species of Habronattus from Canada whose only known specimen is apparently lost.
