Orsima is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1901.[2] (As of August 2019) it contains only three species, found only in Africa, Indonesia, and Malaysia: O. constricta, O. ichneumon, and O. thaleri.[1] O. ichneumon was considered a Polyrhachis ant mimic in reverse, but this theory was later dismissed.[3]
