Originally given the name Rooseveltia, it was renamed Ogdenia (after Milwaukee's Dr. H. V. Ogden) when it was discovered that the original name was preoccupied by a genus of fish.[3][4]
These spiders are thought to mimic mutillid wasps.[5] The Peckhams believed this genus was related to those of Hasarius.
