Thrandina is a genus of jumping spiders with three species found in Ecuador. It is unique among New World salticids in having strikingly large posterior median eyes.Thrandina and its sister genus Galianora share the ancestral salticid traits of a tarsal claw on the female palpus and a median apophysis on the male palp. This is rare among neotropical salticids. Both genera are informally grouped as lapsiines together with Lapsias.
