Celaenia atkinsoni is a species of Araneidae spider that is native to New Zealand and Australia.[1][2]
This species was described as Thlaosoma atkinsonii in 1880 by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge from a single female specimen collected in New Zealand.[2] In 1917 it was transferred to the Celaenia genus.[3] It was most recently revised in 1987, in which male and female specimens were described from Australia.[1]
