Cyclosa hamulata is a species of orb weaver spider in the family Araneidae. The species was first described by Akio Tanikawa in 1992.[1] It is found in Japan and the Russian Far East.[1]
The species was originally misidentified as Cyclosa atrata by Chikuni in 1989, but Tanikawa recognized it as a distinct species in 1992 and formally described it. The species closely resembles C. atrata but can be distinguished by genital structures.[2]
