Vailimia is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders). Its only species occurs only in Borneo.
[edit] Name
Vailima is the name of the last residence of Robert Louis Stevenson and the village where it is situated. The genus was renamed to Vailimia in 2006 due to a conflict with a fish genus, Vailima. The original name Vailima was used by Peckham & Peckham, 1907.
