Ugandinella is a monotypic genus of Ugandan ant-mimicking jumping spiders containing the single species, Ugandinella formicula. It was first described by Wanda Wesołowska in 2006, [2] and is found in Uganda. [1] The name is derived from the type locality, and the species name refers to their appearance similar to members of Formicidae.

As of 2026, Ugandinella is considered a junior synonym of Enoplomischus Giltay, 1931. [1] [3]
