Stenaelurillus setosus is a species of jumping spider from Burma. It was described from a single immature male specimen.[1]

The name of the original genus, Philotherus, was taken from Ancient Greek Φιλόθηρος ("fond of hunting"), according to Thorell taken from Persian mythology.

On the opisthosoma there is a wide transverse whitish band at the front and a narrower one near the spinnerets. In between the color is black with two light circular spots and some other white marks. Except for the mostly yellow tarsi, the legs are black.[1]
