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]

  • O. fastuosa (Thorell, 1877) = Opadometa fastigata (Simon, 1877)
