Schenkeliella is a monotypic genus of Sri Lankan long-jawed orb-weavers containing the single species, Schenkeliella spinosa.[1] The species was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1871 under the name Oeta spinosa,[2] but it was renamed to "Schenkeliella" by Embrik Strand in 1934 because the name was already in use for a genus of ermine moths.[3] Originally placed with the Nesticidae,[3] it transferred to the Tetragnathidae in 1980.[4]
