Because of its heterogeneity in ecoregions and its varied topography, the Mexican peninsula of Baja California (BCP) is an area of high diversity for many taxa, including spiders. However, a paucity of studies means that the diversity of BCP’s spiders is generally poorly known. The North American jumping spider genus Phidippus comprises over 60 species, of which approximately 45% are found in Mexico. Among those, 6 have been recorded to date from the BCP but adding up the species recorded in nearby states, up to 20 more can be expected. As part of a larger study on the evolution and biogeography of the North American genus Phidippus, the aim here was to explore the diversity of the genus in the BCP using an integrative taxonomic approach and to present new distributional records. Until now, at least ten species have been collected from the BCP, one of which is a new record for Mexico, three new records for the BCP, and at least one undescribed species.
