Henriksenia labuanica is a species of spider in the family Thomisidae, found in Malaysia (Borneo).

Taxonomy

The species was first named by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1898 as Misumena nepenthicola; however, he did not give a diagnosis, so this is a nomen nudum. In 1930, W. S. Bristowe first described the species, giving it the name Misumenops nepenthicola. However, this name had already been used by Louis Fage in 1928 for a different species, so it is a junior homonym. An application to have Bristowe's name conserved was rejected, and in 2009, Striffler and Rembold published the replacement name Henriksenia labuanica – the only legitimate name that applies to the species.
