Ageleradix is a genus of East Asian funnel weavers first described by Xu & Li in 2007. [2]
As of April 2019 [update] it contains six species: [1]
The Agelenidae are a large family of spiders in the suborder Araneomorphae. Well-known examples include the common "grass spiders" of the genus Agelenopsis. Nearly all Agelenidae are harmless to humans, but the bite of the hobo spider may be medically significant, and some evidence suggests it might cause necrotic lesions, but the matter remains subject to debate. The most widely accepted common name for members of the family is funnel weaver.
Lampshade spiders, family Hypochilidae, are among the most primitive of araneomorph spiders. There are two genera and twelve species currently recognized. Like mygalomorphs, most hypochilids have two pairs of book lungs, but like araneomorphs they have intersecting fangs, with the exception of some species which have chelicerae in an angle that is neither orthognathous or labidognathous. These long-legged spiders build typical "lampshade" style webs under overhangs and in caves. In the United States the fauna is primarily associated with the Appalachian, Rocky and California Mountains. Ten of the known species are found in these ranges, all in the genus Hypochilus. The genus Ectatosticta is found in China.
Synagelides is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by W. Bösenberg & Embrik Strand in 1906. This genus and Agorius are separated as a genus group, sometimes called subfamily Agoriinae, but more recently downranked to tribe Agoriini of the Salticoida clade in subfamily Salticinae.
Pimoidae is a small family of araneomorph spiders first described by J. Wunderlich in 1986. As re-circumscribed in 2021, it is monophyletic, and contained 85 species in two genera. It is closely related to the Linyphiidae, and is sometimes treated as synonymous with that family.
Pimoa is a genus of spiders in the family Pimoidae. Its sister genus is Nanoa.
Atypus, also called purseweb spiders, is a genus of atypical tarantulas first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804. It occurs in Eurasia, with one species reaching into North Africa. Only three of the described species occur in Europe: A. piceus, A. affinis, and A. muralis. Specimens from the USA formerly known as A. snetsingeri represent an introduced population of A. karschi.
Macrothele is a genus of mygalomorph spiders in the family Macrothelidae, and was first described by A. Ausserer in 1871. Most of the species in the genus occur in Asia, from India to Japan, and Java, with five found in Africa, and two in Europe. The name is derived from Ancient Greek μακρός ("makro-"), meaning "big", and θηλή ("thele"), referring to the spinnerets.
Tonsilla is a genus of East Asian funnel weavers first described by J. F. Wang & C. M. Yin in 1992.
Songthela is a spider genus in the family Heptathelidae, with species found in China and Vietnam.
Coelotes is a genus of funnel weavers first described by John Blackwall in 1841. A large number of species are found throughout Europe and Asia.
Lineacoelotes is a genus of East Asian funnel weavers first described by X. Xu, S. Q. Li & X. P. Wang in 2008.
Orumcekia is a genus of Asian funnel weavers first described by A. Ö. Koçak & M. Kemal in 2008.
Platocoelotes is a genus of East Asian funnel weavers first described by X. P. Wang in 2002. They are all found in China except for Platocoelotes uenoi, found in Japan.
Qiongthela is a genus of spiders in the family Heptathelidae. As of 2021, it contains 14 species.
Khorata is a genus of Asian cellar spiders that was first described by B. A. Huber in 2005.
Hengconarius is a genus of funnel weavers first described by Zhao & S. Q. Li in 2018.
Otacilia is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Phrurolithidae, first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1897.
Draconarius is a genus of Asian funnel weavers first described by S. V. Ovtchinnikov in 1999.
Shuqiang Li is a Chinese arachnologist and a professor at the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Li is best known for his work with spiders and has described hundreds of new species and many genera. He is Editor in Chief of the journal Zoological Systematics.
