Novakiella is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders containing the single species, Novakiella trituberculosa that has only been found in Australia and New Zealand. [1]
The genus Novakiella was first described by N. Court & Forster in 1993 as a replacement name for Novakia. [2] The sole species N. trituberculosa was originally placed in the now obsolete genus Epeira as E. tri-tuberculata. [3] Carl Friedrich Roewer temporarily moved it to Araneus while dissolving this "catch-all" taxon, [4] and it was later placed into its own genus, Novakia, [5] later renamed to Novakiella. [2]
