Dolichognatha longiceps

Dolichognatha longiceps is a species of spider in the family Tetragnathidae, found in India, Myanmar and Thailand.[1] In 2014, it was suggested that the species be transferred back to the genus Prolochus, where it was placed by Tamerlan Thorell in 1895,[2] but as of May 2016, this has not been accepted by secondary sources, such as the World Spider Catalog.[1]
