'''''Artabrus''''' is a genus of jumping spiders with only two species. The type species, ''Artabrus erythrocephalus'', was described in 1846 by C. L. Koch as ''Plexippus erythrocephalus'' and transferred to his new genus ''Artabrus'' by Eugène Simon in 1902. It remained the only species in the genus until a second species was described in 2020.<ref name=WSC_g2508/><ref name=HC-HILL/>
Species of the genus resemble ''Epeus'' species in body shape and eye pattern, but have a different genital structure. It is said to be close to the genus ''Pseudamycus''.<ref name=MurpMurp00/>
