Rhene


Rhene is a spider genus of the family Salticidae.

Taxonomy

The genus was originally named Rhanis by C. L. Koch in 1846. However, this name had already been used for a beetle genus in 1834. Accordingly, Tamerlan Thorell provided the replacement name Rhene in 1869. The name Rhene is derived from the Greek woman's name Rhene.
In 2010, the species Zygoballus citri was transferred to Rhene as Rhene citri.
