Hexablemma is a monotypic genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Tetrablemmidae containing the single species, Hexablemma cataphractum. It was first described by Lucien Berland in 1920 from a female found in Kenya. [2] It was separated from Tetrablemma in 1978 for this single species, [3] because it doesn't belong there, but doesn't seem to belong anywhere else either. [1] [4]
