Synema is a large genus of brightly colored crab spiders with 126 valid species distributed on all continents except Australia (WSC 2024). Four species, namely S. caucasicum Utochkin, 1960, S. globosum (Fabricius, 1775), S. ornatum (Thorell, 1875), and S. plorator (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872), have been recorded in the Caucasus.
