Manzuma is a genus of African jumping spiders erected by Galina Azarkina in 2020 as part of a study of genera placed in the subtribe Aelurillina.[2] During the study, she found that several species formerly placed in Rafalus, Aelurillus and Langelurillus were similar and distinct enough from the type species of these genera. Accordingly, she erected a new genus, transferring four species in addition to describing three new ones.[2]
