***Augustaea*** is a [monotypic](/source/Monotypic_taxon) [genus](/source/Genus) of [ant-like](/source/Ant_mimicry) Singaporean [jumping spiders](/source/Salticidae) containing the single species, ***Augustaea formicaria***. It was first described by C. Szombathy in 1915,[2] and is only found in [Singapore](/source/Singapore).[1] They are about 6 millimetres (0.24 in) long, and placed close to *[Agorius](/source/Agorius)*.

Szombathy's drawings suggest that *A. formicaria* might belong to *[Orsima](/source/Orsima)*,[3] but no study has been published on it since its first description in 1915.[1]
