Maevia is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders).Maevia appears to have been a large blanket genus in its beginnings with not closely related species from the New World and the region from India to the Moluccas being lumped there. As the type species is from North America those that occur in the New World were left in the genus with most others transferred to other genera.
