Megadictyna is a genus of spiders in the family Megadictynidae. It was first described in 1906 by Friedrich Dahl.[2] As of February 2019[update], it contains only one species, Megadictyna thilenii, found in New Zealand.[1] Similar to many RTA clade spiders, Megadictyna build wheel-shaped orb webs.[3]
