Aelurillus galinae is a jumping spider that was first described by Wanda Wesołowska and Antonius van Harten in 2010.

[5] It was placed in the subtribe Aelurillina in the tribe Aelurillini, both named after the genus, by Wayne Maddison in 2015.

It has a brown carapace and a short black eye field, with a pattern of four thin lines formed of white hairs on the eye field that merge into two wider stripes on the thorax.

The palpal bulb has two short tibial apophyses and distinctive blended appendages that extend from the middle.

The colouring of the carapace is similar, although the lines are less clear, but the distinctive position of the eyes is the same.

The abdomen is very different, being spherical and swollen in shape and patterned with fawn and greyish patches.
