I have taken the list of MA species from Dick Walton's web site, Jumping Spiders (Salticidae) of Massachusetts.

Admestina wheeleri

mating? male Evarcha hoyi (Lower Vine Brook, 5/28/11 12pm, 9/11/16 12pm) They disappeared into the undergrowth and I couldn't coax them out again.

Marpissa lineata

Marpissa pikei

Naphrys pulex (Willard's Woods, 6/17/12 12pm) These are extremely common, but I have had a hard time getting decent photos. They are also very small, only several mm long.
