Larinia is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1874.

Life style: The spiders have straw-coloured bodies. This is a typical grassland species, resembling grass in shape and colour. They construct loosely woven webs in grass. They are not easily seen and usually sampled with a sweep net. When at rest they stretch their body and legs along a blade of grass.

 Spiders in genus Larinia are medium-sized araneids with a narrow, elongated body. The carapace is longer than it is wide with a short, grooved longitudinal fovea. The anterior median eyes are largest, the median ocular quadrangle is appreciably wider in front than behind. The chelicerae have 3-4 promarginal and retromarginal teeth. The abdomen is distinctly longer than wide.

The epigynum of the female bears a slender scape with rigid attachment at base. The scape frequently breaks off. Legs are I longest, legs III shortest. They can be confused with Kilima decens but here the median lines with slight curves.
