Asemonea cuprea is a species of jumping spider in the genus Asemonea that is found in South Africa and Zambia. The spider was first defined in 2009 by Wanda Wesołowska, one of over 500 that the arachnologist described during her career. It is small, generally yellow and lives on the leaves of short shrubs. It has an pear-shaped carapace and a narrower abdomen that each have a length between 1.5 and 1.7 mm (0.059 and 0.067 in). The male has a distinctive coloration with bright orange scales covering the clypeus and eye field and vivid orange hairs on the back half of the abdomen, which are recalled by the species name. The male also has an unusual right-angle shaped subtegulum and the female a simpler epigyne than other Asemonea species that helps identify the species.
