Macutula is a spider genus of the jumping spider family, Salticidae, from Brazil. It comprises medium-sized jumping spiders (4–7 mm) with slightly flattened bodies and dark brown carapaces.{{smallcaps|Ruiz, Gustavo Rodrigo Sanches}} (2011). "Description of Macutula, a new genus of jumping spiders from Northeastern Brazil (Araneae: Salticidae: Amycoida)." Zootaxa 2785: 53-60. It is distinguished from other genera in the Amycoida clade by the deep prolateral excavation on the dorsal surface of the cymbium of the male pedipalp, forming a dorsal keel.
