Stenoterommata is a genus of spiders in the family Nemesiidae, found in eastern South America.[1]

Taxonomy

The genus was erected by E. L. Holmberg in 1881, with the type species Stenoterommata platensis.[1] Holmberg explained that the genus name referred to the fact that the posterior eyes of the species were narrower than any other species in Argentina.[2] The name Stenoterommata is a Latinized form of stenoterommatos, an adjective derived from Greek, meaning "narrower eyed", and is feminine,[1] as it implicitly modifies aranea, "spider".
