Molinaranea magellanica is a species of orb-weaver spider (family Araneidae) endemic to Chile, Argentina, the Juan Fernández Islands and the Falkland Islands.[1] It is also known as the Falklands green spider.[2][3] It is the largest endemic spider known to exist in the Falklands.[2]

Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1847 by Charles Athanase Walckenaer as Epeira magellanica. It has been described under a large number of synonyms in nine genera. Nine names used by Hercule Nicolet in 1849, including Epeira cinaberina, are now considered to be synonyms.[1]
