Hypsosinga is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Anton Ausserer in 1871.[2] The genus name is derived from the Greek "hypso", meaning "high", referring to the higher clypeus than those of the genus Singa.[3]

In 2015, female spiders were identified at the RSPB Radipole Lake nature reserve in Dorset, England. The previous recorded sightings of the species in the UK were in 1898 and 1912 at Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire.[4]
