Novakiella is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders. Previously monotypic containing the single species, Novakiella trituberculosa found in Australia and New Zealand,[1] a second species was recognised in 2021, Novakiella boletus.[2]
Taxonomy
The genus Novakiella was first described by David Court & Forster in 1993 as a replacement name for Novakia.[3] The sole species N. trituberculosa was originally placed in the now obsolete genus Epeira as E. tri-tuberculata.[4] Carl Friedrich Roewer temporarily moved it to Araneus while dissolving this "catch-all" taxon,[5] and it was later placed into its own genus, Novakia,[6] later renamed to Novakiella.[3]
Distribution
N. trituberculosa is native to New Zealand and Australia,[7] while N. boletus is endemic to Australia.[2]
Species
N. boletus Framenau, Vink, Scharff, Baptista & Castanheira, 2021 – Australia
N. trituberculosa Court & Forster, 1993 – Australia, New Zealand
