"Alfenus" is a genus of jumping spiders.

The two species were described by Eugène Simon in the early 1900s, based on a single male specimen each. However, the two species are so different that they probably do not belong to the same genus (Szűts & Scharff, 2005).

"A. calamistratus" has a characteristic hairy appearance.

The males (no females have been observed yet) are 7 ("A. chrysophaeus") to 9 millimeters ("A. calamistratum") long, with a dark brown carapace. The hairs on "A. calamistratum" are white or brownish-orange.
