Novakiella is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders containing the single species, Novakiella trituberculosa that has only been found in Australia and New Zealand.[1]
Taxonomy[]
The genus Novakiella was first described by N. Court & Forster in 1993 as a replacement name for Novakia.[2] The sole species N. trituberculosa was originally placed in the now obsolete genus Epeira as E. tri-tuberculata.[3] Carl Friedrich Roewer temporarily moved it to Araneus while dissolving this "catch-all" taxon,[4] and it was later placed into its own genus, Novakia,[5] later renamed to Novakiella.[2]
