Rhene is a spider genus of the family Salticidae (jumping spiders).
Taxonomy
The genus was originally named Rhanis by C. L. Koch in 1846. However, this name had already been used for a beetle genus in 1834. Accordingly, Tamerlan Thorell provided the replacement name Rhene in 1869.{{cite book|title=On European Spiders, Part 1: Review of the European Genera of Spiders, Preceded by Some Observations on Zoological Nomenclature|first=Tamerlan|last=Thorell|year=1869|page=37}} The name Rhene is derived from the Greek woman's name Rhene ({{lang|grc|Ῥήνη}}).
