Nanocambridgea is a monotypic genus of intertidal spiders containing the single species, Nanocambridgea gracilipes. It was first described by Raymond Robert Forster & C. L. Wilton in 1973, [2] and is found on New Zealand. [1] Originally placed with the Stiphidiidae, [2] it was moved to the Desidae after a 2017 genetic study. [3] A male described as N. grandis in 2000 [4] was synonymized with Cambridgea reinga in 2011. [5]
