Phonognatha is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895. [3] It was originally placed with the long-jawed orb weavers, and was moved to Araneidae in 2008. [4]
The leaf curling spider ( Phonognatha graeffei) is a common Australian spider found in urban areas as well as woodlands of the northeastern, eastern, and southern states. [1] Phonognatha vicitra was formerly placed in the genus, but it has been shown to be a misidentification of Acusilas coccineus. [5]
Species
As of April 2019 [update] it contains four species: [1]
- Phonognatha graeffei (Keyserling, 1865) ( type) – Australia
- Phonognatha melania ( L. Koch, 1871) – Australia
- Phonognatha neocaledonica Berland, 1924 – New Caledonia
- Phonognatha tanyodon Kallal & Hormiga, 2018 – Australia (Queensland, New South Wales)
