Tapinothelella

Tapinothelella is a monotypic genus of South African nursery web spiders containing the single species, Tapinothelella laboriosa. It was first described by Embrik Strand in 1909, and is only found in South Africa.

Taxonomy

This species is known only from two juvenile specimens, found in Simon's Town in 1903. The genus has not been revised, and the description was based on a juvenile with no drawings provided. The status of both the species and genus remains obscure. The type material was not found, making this possibly a nomen dubium.
