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.[2][3] They considered that the genus Prolochus, treated a synonym of Dolichognatha by sources such as the World Spider Catalog as of January 2021[update], should be revived. It would include Dolichognatha longiceps as Prolochus longiceps, and Prolochus junlitjri.[2] However, a molecular phylogenetic study in 2018 did not support this, and placed the species in Dolichognatha,[4] the placement accepted by the World Spider Catalog.[1]
