Saraina is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders), found in Africa.

Contents

Males are about four millimeters long, females reach almost nine millimeters. The relationships of this genus are unclear, as the copulatory organs are so unique that there are no genera with similar structures.

As of March 2017, the World Spider Catalog accepted the following species:

  • Saraina deltshevi Azarkina, 2009 – Congo
  • Saraina kindamba Azarkina, 2009 – Congo
  • Saraina rubrofasciata Wanless & Clark, 1975 (type species) – Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Nigeria
