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) 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)
