Bagheera is a genus of jumping spiders within the family Salticidae, subfamily Salticinae and subtribe Dendryphantina.[2] The genus was first described by George Peckham & Elizabeth Peckham in 1896.[3] The name is derived from Bagheera, a character from Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book.[4]
The type species Bagheera kiplingi is noted for its unique, primarily herbivorous diet of Beltian bodies. Male individuals within the genus may be identified by their elongate, horizontal, parallel chelicerae.[4]
