Chloridusa is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders). Its only described species, C. viridiaurea, is found from Peru to Brazil.
Name
The genus name is a combination of Ancient Greek chloros "green", and the ending -usa, used in several salticid genera (such as Cotinusa, Sidusa, Stergusa and Ceglusa). The species name is Latin for "green and golden".
