Thiratoscirtus tenuis is a species of jumping spider in the genus Thiratoscirtus that lives in Angola, Burundi, Mozambique and Uganda. It was first described in 2023 by Wanda Wesołowska and Konrad Wiśniewski. A medium-sized spider, it has a cephalothorax that is ranges from 3.3 and 3.6 mm long and an abdomen that is between 3 and 3.6 mm long. The cephalothorax is generally dark yellow to dark brown apart from its black rings around the spider's eyes. The abdomen is yellowish-brown to dark brown on top and generally yellowish underneath. The spider has long legs. The male has an unusually-shaped palpal bulb that has a bulge on top and a distinctive narrow cymbium. It is the shape of the cymbium that is recalled in the species name, which is the Latin word for narrow. The female has not been described.
