Aelurillus dubatolovi is a species of jumping spider that lives in Central Asia. A member of the genus Aelurillus, the species was first identified in 2003 in Turkmenistan. It has a distribution that extends from Caspian Sea to Lake Balkhash and includes Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The spider itself is small, the male being smaller than the female, with a carapace measuring between 3.1 and 3.6 mm (0.12 and 0.14 in) in length and an abdomen between 2.9 and 4.1 mm (0.11 and 0.16 in) long. The carapace is dark brown, with long hairs along the side that distinguish the species from the similar Aelurillus brutus and Aelurillus lutosus.
