Nanometa is a genus of long-jawed orb-weavers containing the fifteen species. It was erected by Eugène Louis Simon based on the type specimen of Nanometa gentilis found in 1908.[1][2] It is included in a clade of its own defined by nine morphological synapomorphies, along with the genus Orsinome.[3]
