Mizaga is a genus of West African cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae, and was first described by Eugène Simon in 1898.[4] (As of May 2019) it contains only two species, both found in Senegal: M. chevreuxi and M. racovitzai.[1] Originally placed with the funnel weavers, it was moved to Dictynidae in 1967.[3]
