'''''Ohilimia''''' is a spider genus of the jumping spider family, Salticidae.<ref name=WSC_g2826/>
==Description== ''Ohilimia albomaculata'' reaches a body length of 7 to 8 mm, while ''O. scutellata'' is 5 to 7 mm long. The cephalothorax of ''O. albomaculata'' is densely covered with short hairs, ''O. scutellata'' is only sparsely covered. The sexes are similar, with males having distinctive shiny scuta. The first, elongated pair of legs is held in a mantis-like manner. It seems that ''Ohilimia'' mimic flies in reverse: their first legs are held like the wings of a fly, and they move backwards.<ref>Davies & Żabka 1989</ref>
==Relationships== ''Ohilimia'' is probably closely related to ''Diolenius'' and ''Chalcolecta'', which also have elongated front legs.
==Distribution== ''Ohilimia'' only occurs in rainforests of the northeastern Cape York Peninsula of Australia, New Guinea and the Moluccas islands Ternate and Kai. The current distribution seems to be due to past land bridges.
==Species== {{As of|2017|04}}, the World Spider Catalog accepted the following species:<ref name=WSC_g2826/> * ''Ohilimia albomaculata'' <small>(Thorell, 1881)</small> – Moluccas; Bird's Head Peninsula, New Guinea * ''Ohilimia laensis'' <small>Gardzińska & Patoleta, 2010</small> – New Guinea * ''Ohilimia scutellata'' <small>(Kritscher, 1959)</small> – Western and Central Provinces of Papua New Guinea; Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia
