Pasilobus bufoninus is a species of spider in the orb-weaver spider family Araneidae, found in Taiwan and Indonesia (Java and the Moluccas). [1]

Taxonomy

Pasilobus bufoninus was first described by Eugène Simon in 1867, as Micrathena bufonina. In 1895, he transferred it to his new genus Pasilobus , of which it is the type species. [1] [2] Spiders from Japan that had been identified as Pasilobus bufoninus were shown in 2006 to be P. hupingensis , removing Japan from the distribution of P. bufoninus. [3]
