'''''Rhene''''' is a [[spider]] [[genus (biology)|genus]] of the family [[Salticidae]] (jumping spiders).
==Taxonomy==
The genus was originally named ''Rhanis'' by [[Carl Ludwig Koch|C. L. Koch]] in 1846. However, this name had already been used for a beetle genus in 1834. Accordingly, [[Tamerlan Thorell]] provided the [[Nomen novum|replacement name]] ''Rhene'' in 1869.<ref name=Thorell1869>{{cite book|title=On European Spiders, Part 1: Review of the European Genera of Spiders, Preceded by Some Observations on Zoological Nomenclature|first=Tamerlan|last=Thorell|year=1869|page=37}}</ref> The name ''Rhene'' is derived from the Greek woman's name ''[[Rhene_(mythology)|Rhene]]'' ({{lang|grc|Ῥήνη}}).<ref name=Thorell1869/>
