Togacantha is a genus of orb-weaver spiders found in Africa. It is monotypic and contains the single species Togacantha nordviei. It was first described as a subgenus of Gasteracantha by Friedrich Dahl in 1914,[2] and was later elevated to genus status.[3] Only the female was known until a male was found and described in 1982.[4][1]
