Magyarus is a monotypic genus of Vietnamese jumping spiders containing the single species, Magyarus typicus. It was first described by Marek Michał Żabka in 1985,[2] and is only found in Vietnam.[1]

The cephalothorax is brown, with darker shading around the eyes. The legs are grey-orange with brown spines; the first pair is orange-brown and lighter inside. Males are 4 millimetres (0.16 in) long, and their pedipalps are similar to those of Phlegra.[3] The name is derived from the Hungarian word for Hungary, "Magyar".
