Species:
O. mutilla
Binomial name
Ogdenia mutilla
(Peckham & Peckham, 1907)

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]
