Gnathonargus is a monotypic genus of North American dwarf spiders containing the single species, Gnathonargus unicorn. It was first described by S. C. Bishop & C. R. Crosby in 1935,[2] and has only been found in the United States .[1]

The species name alludes to the diagnostic projection issuing from the clypeus in males, an elongate, slender rod with a rounded end that points diagonally upward.[3]
