Xenocytaea is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae (jumping spiders).^[1]

Of all 150 salticid genera known from Australia and the entire Pacific, only Chalcotropis, Donoessus and Panysinus resemble Xenocytaea.

Name[]

The genus name is a combination of Greek ξένος "strange, foreign" and the salticid genus Cytaea. This indicates that despite the similarity of the two genera in male palpal structure, this group of species does not belong in Cytaea.

Species[]

As of March 2018, the World Spider Catalog lists the following species in the genus:^[2]
