Uapou is a monotypic genus of South Pacific sheet weaver spiders containing the single species, Uapou maculata. It was first described by Lucien Berland in 1935,[2] and is found on Ua Pou, one of the Marquesas Islands.[1] It was transferred to the family Symphytognathidae by H. W. Levi in 1972,[3] but this was rejected by Brignoli in 1980.[4] The World Spider Catalog places it in the family Linyphiidae.[1]
