Donaldius is a genus of jumping spiders with a single described species, Donaldius lucidus, which is endemic to Panama. D. lucidus is known only from a single female specimen collected in El Valle in July 1936.[1] Gustavo Ruiz has suggested that Donaldius may be closely related to Metaphidippus based on molecular analysis of a specimen collected in Costa Rica.[2]
