Novakiella is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders containing the single species, Novakiella trituberculosa that has only been found in Australia and New Zealand. Taxonomy. The genus "Novakiella" was first described by N. Court & Forster in 1993 as a replacement name for "Novakia". The sole species "N. trituberculosa" was originally placed in the now obsolete genus "Epeira" as "E. tri-tuberculata". Carl Friedrich Roewer temporarily moved it to "Araneus" while dissolving this "catch-all" taxon, and it was later placed into its own genus, "Novakia", later renamed to "Novakiella".
