Dolichognatha albida is a species of spider in the family Tetragnathidae, found in Sri Lanka and Thailand. [1]
Long-jawed orb weavers or long jawed spiders (Tetragnathidae) is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Anton Menge in 1866. They have elongated bodies, legs, and chelicerae, and build small orb webs with an open hub with few, wide-set radii and spirals with no signal line or retreat. Some species are often found in long vegetation near water.
Dolichognatha is a genus of tropical and subtropical long-jawed orb-weavers that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1869. Originally placed with the Archaeidae, it was transferred to the Araneidae in 1967, and to the Tetragnathidae in 1981.
Prolochus is a possible genus of tropical spiders. As of September 2018, the World Spider Catalog does not accept the genus and treats it as a synonym of Dolichognatha, a genus in the family Tetragnathidae. In 2014, it was suggested that the genus be restored, and a newly discovered species was named as Prolochus junlitjri. Prolochus is said to have four main traits that distinguishes it from Dolichognatha: the total absence of posterior median eyes, a dorsal abdomen without dorsal humps, a distinct shape of abdomen and the palpal organ of the male.

Dolichognatha junlitjri is a species of orb-weaver spiders found in the Philippines. The species was discovered in Molawin Creek at Mount Makiling, and was described, illustrated and named by Aimee Lynn Barrion-Dupo and Alberto T. Barrion who published their discovery in 2014. They considered that the genus Prolochus, treated a synonym of Dolichognatha by sources such as the World Spider Catalog as of January 2021, should be revived. It would include Dolichognatha longiceps as Prolochus longiceps, and Prolochus junlitjri. However, a molecular phylogenetic study in 2018 did not support this, and placed the species in Dolichognatha, the placement accepted by the World Spider Catalog.
Dolichognatha longiceps is a species of spider in the family Tetragnathidae, found in India, Myanmar and Thailand. In 2014, it was suggested that the species be transferred back to the genus Prolochus, where it was placed by Tamerlan Thorell in 1895, but as of May 2016, this has not been accepted by secondary sources, such as the World Spider Catalog.

Dolichognatha nietneri, is a species of spider of the genus Dolichognatha. It is endemic to Sri Lanka. The name is after the collector John Nietner.
