Nephilingis is a genus of spiders in the family Nephilidae.[1] It was split off from the genus Nephilengys in 2006. Both genera have been called hermit spiders from the habit of staying in their retreats during the day;[2] alternatively the name "hermit spider" may be reserved for Nephilingis, with Nephilengys species called "eunuch spiders".[3]
