Macracantha is a genus of Asian orb-weaver spiders recognized as containing the species, Macracantha arcuata. [2] [failed verification], although some schemes also recognise inclusion of Gasteracantha hasselti in this genus.
Gasteracantha has a complex taxonomic history, and many questions of species limits and distribution and generic interrelationships remain unanswered. Furthermore, challenges include the variability within individual Gasteracantha species (e.g., color polymorphism and variable length and shape of spines), a lack of male specimens and descriptions for many species, missing or damaged type ...
Macracantha hasselti is a species of spider belonging to the family Araneidae. It is a native of Asia, occurring from India eastwards to Indonesia.
