Pellenes is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders).

Most species have a special propensity for snail shells and are dark to black with white stripes on the back. Often there are bright red markings. Especially the male Pellenes seriatus and P. lapponicus frontally look very similar to Hasarius adansoni.
