Scytodes kumonga is a species of spider in the Scytodidae family native to Iran. It was described in 2020.[1][2] The specific name kumonga refers to the spider kaiju Kumonga, a recurring monster in the Godzilla franchise by Toho which can spit silk in a similar manner to spitting spiders to ensnare opponents, whose name in turn is derived from the Japanese word for 'spider', kumo (クモ).[3] Kumonga's binomial name in Godzilla Singular Point, Kumonga scytodes, pays homage to this species.[4][5]
