Type species.

Filistata schmitzi Kulczyński, 1911.

Zaitunia is a small genus of small to medium-sized Filistatinae spiders with 11 described species distributed from East Mediterranean to Central Asia. They are diagnosable from the similarly-looking Filistata by the lack of a thoracic fovea, short and subvertical clypeus, subcircular sternum, as broad as long labium, and by a short and swollen palpal tibia of males ( Zonstein 2009, Zonstein et al. 2013).
