Binomial name
Ogdenia mutilla
(Peckham & Peckham, 1907)

Originally given the name Rooseveltia, it was renamed Ogdenia (after Milwaukee's Dr. H. V. Ogden) when it was discovered that the original name was preoccupied by a genus of fish.[3][4]

These spiders are thought to mimic mutillid wasps.[5] The Peckhams believed this genus was related to those of Hasarius.

The female epigyne was drawn by Proszynsky in 1984.[6]
