Taxonomy The species was originally described by the Georgian arachnologist Tamara Mcheidze in 1997 as Araneus tbilisiensis. In 1998, it was transferred to the genus Araniella. In 2020, the species was considered to be a synonym of A. opisthographa. This was based on its similar morphology and distribution, but without the original type material being examined. A re-examination in 2025 led to the recognition that A. tbilisiensis was distinct from A. opisthographa, and also that A. villanii, first described in 2020, was synonymous.
