Stanwellia is a genus of South Pacific mygalomorph spiders in the family Pycnothelidae. It was first described by W. J. Rainbow & R. H. Pulleine in 1918.[3] Originally placed with the curtain-web spiders,[3] it was transferred to the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985,[4] then to the Pycnothelidae in 2020.[5] It is a senior synonym of Aparua.[2]
