Prolochus is a possible genus of tropical spiders.
As of September 2018[update], the World Spider Catalog does not accept the genus and treats it as a synonym of Dolichognatha, a genus in the family Tetragnathidae.
[1] In 2014, it was suggested that the genus be restored, and a newly discovered species was named as Prolochus junlitjri.
Prolochus is said to have four main traits that distinguishes it from Dolichognatha: the total absence of posterior median eyes, a dorsal abdomen without dorsal humps, a distinct shape of abdomen and the palpal organ of the male.
