Aysha is a genus of anyphaenid sac spiders first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1891.[2] They are often called "sac spiders" because of the dwellings that they create for themselves to take shelter in. As is true with most other spiders, the pedipalps of the males are much larger than those of the females. They are found throughout South America up to Panama.[1]
