Phausina is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders). All species except one, which is endemic to Java, occur only on Sri Lanka.
The Javanese species, P. leucopogon, is 5 mm long in males. It has a black carapace with red hairs surrounding a broad band of yellow hairs on the head and reddish hairs surrounding a narrow median stripe of whitish hairs on the thorax. On the sides there is a wavy whitish stripe. The longish abdomen is blackish with red pubescence, and a median white and yellow band. The first two pairs of legs are dark, the others yellowish with rings.[1]
