Augustaea is a genus of jumping spiders. The single described species Augustaea formicaria is only found in Singapore.
Szombathy described both sexes of this ant-like species, with both about six millimeters long, and put them close to Agorius. His drawings suggest that A. formicaria might belong to Orsima.[1] However, no study was published on it since its first description in 1915.[2]
