Ogdenia is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders). Its only described species, O. mutilla, is endemic to Sarawak, Borneo.

Peckham & Peckham regarded the species as being close to Hasarius. The female epigyne was drawn by Proszynsky (1984).

The genus was originally called Rooseveltia, but replaced by the original authors a year later.[1]

Name

The original describers thought the species to mimic a mutillid wasp.[2]
