"Lycidas" is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders). Almost all species are endemic to Australia, with a single species ("L. furvus") found in China.

Females are from three to seven millimeters long, males from three to five. Since all other species are from Australia, there is some doubt if "L. furvus" from China really belongs to this genus. [Murphy & Murphy 2000: 275]
