Opadometa is a genus of long-jawed orb-weavers that was first described by Allan Frost Archer in 1951.[2] Their morphology and behavior indicate that these spiders are likely related to Leucauge.[3]

Species

(As of November 2019) it contains four species and one subspecies, found in Asia, on the Solomon Islands, and in Papua New Guinea:[1]

  • Opadometa fastigata (Simon, 1877) – India to Philippines, Indonesia (Sulawesi)
  • Opadometa grata (Guérin, 1838) (type) – Japan , Laos, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Is.
  • Opadometa kuchingensis Dzulhelmi & Suriyanti, 2015 – Borneo
  • Opadometa sarawakensis Dzulhelmi & Suriyanti, 2015 – Malaysia (Borneo), Brunei

In synonymy:

  • O. fastuosa (Thorell, 1877) = Opadometa fastigata (Simon, 1877)
  • O. grata (Strand, 1911) = Opadometa grata (Guérin, 1838)
  • O. grata (Strand, 1911) = Opadometa grata (Guérin, 1838)
  • O. grata (Strand, 1911) = Opadometa grata (Guérin, 1838)
  • O. grata (Strand, 1911) = Opadometa grata (Guérin, 1838)
  • O. grata (Strand, 1911) = Opadometa grata (Guérin, 1838)
  • O. grata (Strand, 1911) = Opadometa grata (Guérin, 1838)
  • O. grata (Strand, 1911) = Opadometa grata (Guérin, 1838)
  • O. trigonosa (Wang, 1991) = Opadometa grata (Guérin, 1838)
