Sagana rutilans is a species of spiders in the family Liocranidae. It was first described in 1875 by Thorell. As of 2020[update], it was the only species in the genus Sagana. It is found from Europe to Georgia.[1] The genus name Sagana Thorell, 1875 is a junior homonym of the moth genus Sagana Walker, 1855[2] (now treated as a synonym of Copaxa), so the combination Sagana rutilans is unavailable, but as of October 2020[update] was still used in the World Spider Catalog.[1]
