Drapeta rutilans, synonym Liocranum rutilans, is a species of spider in the family Liocranidae. It was for a long time known incorrectly as Sagana rutilans;[1] the genus name Sagana Thorell, 1875 is a junior homonym of the moth genus Sagana Walker, 1855[2] (now treated as a synonym of Copaxa), so the combination Sagana rutilans is unavailable.[1]

Distribution

Drapeta rutilans is native to Europe.[1] It has been recorded from Georgia, but in 2024 Seropian et al. considered that such records probably referred to their newly described species D. caucasica.[3]
