Drapeta rutilans, synonym Liocranum rutilans, is a species of spider in the family Liocranidae. It was for a long time known incorrectly as Sagana rutilans; the genus name Sagana Thorell, 1875 is a junior homonym of the moth genus Sagana Walker, 1855 (now treated as a synonym of Copaxa), so the combination Sagana rutilans is unavailable.
