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

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