Taivala is a monotypic genus of jumping spiders containing the single species, Taivala invisitata.

It was first described by G. Peckham & Elizabeth Peckham in 1907,[2] and is found in Sarawak, Borneo.

[1] Only females have been found, but it is thought to be closely related to Pseudamycus.

A female epigyne was drawn by Proszynski in 1984.
