}}Thelacantha is a spider genus of the Araneidae family with only one described species, Thelacantha brevispina.[ The species is closely related to Gasteracantha, and was synonymized with it in 1859, but revalidated in 1974.[1]]DistributionThe species is found in Madagascar, in southern Asia from India to Philippines, Japan and Australia.[[1]] TaxonomySaito described three other Thelacantha species in 1933, which were later synonymized with T. brevispina. T. brevispina has quite often been misidentified as Gasteracantha mammosa, which is now G. cancriformis.[1] T. brevispina has gone through a checkered name history, with many synonyms:[1]{{Div col|colwidth=25em}}- Plectana brevispina Doleschall, 1857
