Abstract
Two new species in the orb-weaving spider genus Nanometa Simon, 1908 are described, N. ilanejzykowiczi sp. nov. and N. cerastes sp. nov. (family Tetragnathidae Menge, 1866), elevating the number of described Australian species to eight. Both new species have so far only been recorded from Hartz Mountains National Park, southern Tasmania, at about 1,200 metres a.s.l., where two other species, N. tasmaniensis Álvarez-Padilla, Kallal & Hormiga, 2020 and N. tetracaena Álvarez-Padilla, Kallal & Hormiga, 2020 also occur.
