Ogdenia is a monotypic genus of jumping spiders containing the single species, Ogdenia mutilla. It was first described by George Peckham in 1907,[2] and is only found on Borneo.[1]
Originally given the name Rooseveltia, it was renamed Ogdenia (after Milwaukee's Dr. H. V. Ogden) when it was discovered that the original name was preoccupied by a genus of fish.[3][4]
These spiders are thought to mimic mutillid wasps.[5] The Peckhams believed this genus was related to those of Hasarius.
The female epigyne was drawn by Proszynsky in 1984.[6]
