Pandava is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Titanoecidae.
[1] In 1967, Pekka T. Lehtinen transferred the species Amaurobius laminatus, first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1878, into his newly created genus Pandava as P. laminata, placing it in the family Titanoecidae.
[4] Male spiders placed in the genus Pandava differ from other species of Titanoecidae in features of the palpal bulb: the tegular process (a projection from the tegulum) is smaller; the median apophysis (one of the hardened plates making up the palpal bulb) is thumb-shaped.
Females differ in features of the epigynum: the copulatory openings are more anterior.
[4] As of July 2022[update], the World Spider Catalog accepted eleven species:[1]
