Abstract

Nephila ?hirta Taczanowski 1873 was described from French Guiana, but is currently listed under Nephilengys L. Koch. It is here redescribed and transferred from Nephilinae (Tetragnathidae)* to the araneid genus Eustala Simon, and proposed as a junior synonym of E. fuscovittata (Keyserling 1864). Eustala appears to be the most speciose American araneid genus and is in need of revision.
