Sagellula is a genus of east Asian huntsman spiders that was first described by Embrik Strand in 1942. [2] It was originally described under the name "Sagella", [3] but this was changed to Sagellula when a senior homonym was discovered. [2] As of September 2019 [update] it contains two species, found in China and Japan: S. octomunita and S. xizangensis. [1]
