Anatea is an ant-mimicking genus of South Pacific comb-footed spiders that was first described by Lucien Berland in 1927. it contains three species, found in Australia and on New Caledonia: Anatea Anatea elongata Anatea formicaria Anatea monteithi
Originally placed with the sac spiders, it was moved to the comb-footed spiders in 1967. Previously considered as a genus with a single species, two new species were identified in tropical Australia in 2017. Myrmecomorphy is found amongst the salticids and Corinnidae families, but it is unusual amongst other theridiids.
