"Uapou" is a genus of linyphiid spiders with one species that occurs only Ua Pou, one of the Marquesas Islands.

H.W. Levi transferred it to the family Symphytognathidae in 1972, but this was rejected by Brignoli in 1980.Platnick, N.I. (2006).

American Museum of Natural History: [http://research.amnh.org/entomology/spiders/catalog/LINYPHIIDAE.html Lyniphiidae] ]

Name

The genus is named after the island Ua Pou on the Marquesas Islands. The describer, Lucien Berland, named several genera after islands in the Pacific Ocean during the 1930s. Other names derived from islands in the Marquesas are "Uahuka" and "Nukuhiva".

The species name is derived from Latin "maculata" "spotted".
