Prolochus junlitjri is a species of orb-weaver spider found in the Philippines. The species was discovered in Molawin Creek at Mount Makiling, and was described, illustrated and named by Aimee Lynn Barrion-Dupo and Alberto T. Barrion who published their discovery in 2014.[1][2] They consider that the genus Prolochus, considered a synonym of Dolichognatha by sources such as the World Spider Catalog as of May 2016, should be revived. It would include Dolichognatha longiceps as Prolochus longiceps, and Prolochus junlitjri.[1]
