Ogdenia is a monotypic genus of jumping spiders containing the single species, Ogdenia mutilla. It was first described by George Peckham in 1907, and is only found on Borneo.
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.
