Thiratoscirtus elgonensis is a species of jumping spider in the genus Thiratoscirtus that lives in Nigeria. It has only been found on Mount Elgon, after which it named. The species was first described in 2016 by Angelika Dawidowicz and Wanda Wesołowska. It is a medium-sized spider, with a cephalothorax that is between 1.8 and 2.7 mm long and an abdomen that is between 2.0 and 2.8 mm in length, both oval in shape. It is generally brown with a central lighter streak running down both the carapace, the hard upper part of the cephalothorax, and the top of the abdomen until it ends in a series of chevrons. The area around its eyes is black and Its face, or clypeus, is light brown. The male has pedipalps that are similar to the related Thiratoscirtus efik' but differs in details, including the size of the spike on the palpal tibia known as the tibial apophysis. The female has a distinctive epigyne with a heart-shaped depression and wide insemination ducts.
