Orepukia is a genus of South Pacific araneomorph spiders in the family Cycloctenidae, known only from New Zealand. First described by Raymond Robert Forster & C. L. Wilton in 1973,[2] it was originally placed in Agelenidae, but was transferred to Cycloctenidae in 2017.[3] Their webs are built on the ground between fallen branches, logs, and other debris, and they are commonly found on the South Island, but hardly ever anywhere else.[2] They range in size from 6 to 7.5 millimetres (0.24 to 0.30 in) and lack a cribellum. Their eight eyes are in two rows, the anterior row straight and the other slightly curved. Their jaws are vertical and the labium is notched near the base.[2]
