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]
