Calamoneta
genus of arachnids
Calamoneta is a genus of southeastern Asian spiders within the family Cheiracanthiidae. It was originally placed in the Miturgidae, but it was moved by Ramírez in 2014. It was named and first described by Christa Deeleman-Reinhold in 2001. The name is derived from the Greek "kalamos", meaning "something woven". There are two species in this genus, C. djojosudharmoi – the type species – and C. urata.
Description
These spiders are thin and green, commonly found on the undersides of leaves. They are found in parts of Sumatra, Java, and northern Queensland. The legs are long and thin. There is a small window before the coxa, and the trochanters do not have any notches. A round depression is in the place of the thoracic groove.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Calamoneta” as genus of arachnids. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as genus of arachnids. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5509547. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014 and 2001.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
