Phonognatha
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Phonognatha is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895.[1] It was originally placed with the long-jawed orb weavers, and was moved to Araneidae in 2008.[2]
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.[3] Phonognatha vicitra was formerly placed in the genus, but it has been shown to be a misidentification of Acusilas coccineus.[4]
