Dolichognatha comorensis is a species of long-jawed orb weaver in the spider family Tetragnathidae. It is found in Comoros. [1] [2] [3]
Long-jawed orb weavers or long jawed spiders (Tetragnathidae) are 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.
Dolichognatha aethiopica is a species of spider in the family Tetragnathidae, found in East Africa.

Dolichognatha umbrophila is a species of long-jawed orb weaver in the spider family Tetragnathidae. It is found in Taiwan and Japan.
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 nietneri, is a species of spider of the genus Dolichognatha. It is endemic to Sri Lanka. The name is after the collector John Nietner.
