Apyretina is a genus of African crab spiders that was first described by Embrik Strand in 1929. [2]
As of June 2020 [update] it contains five species, found on Madagascar: [1]
Liocranidae is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1897. They are one of several groups called "sac spiders". The holarctic genus Agroeca is the most well known, but it also includes various genera of more obscure spiders that still lack a diagnosis. Two species in the North American genus Neoanagraphis are found in the extremely dry conditions in the Mojave, Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts. Females live in animal burrows while males wander and are the ones most often caught in pitfall traps.
Nuctenea is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895. Its most familiar member is the Walnut Orb-Weaver Spider, N. umbratica.
Thwaitesia is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1881.
Eusparassus is a genus of huntsman spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1903.
Encyocrates is a monotypic genus of African tarantulas found on Madagascar containing the single species, Encyocrates raffrayi. The female was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892, and the male was described by Lucien Berland in 1917.
Trachelidae is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1897 as a subfamily called "Tracheleae". It was placed in the family Clubionidae, then later in Corinnidae when the Clubionidae were split up. An analysis by Martín J. Ramírez in 2014 suggested that it was not closely related to other members of the Corinnidae, and was better treated as a separate family.
Phoroncidia is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by J. O. Westwood in 1835.
Propostira is a genus of Asian comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1894. As of June 2020 it contains two species, found in Sri Lanka and India: P. quadrangulata and P. ranii.
Zophoryctes is a monotypic genus of East African brushed trapdoor spiders containing the single species, Zophoryctes flavopilosus. It was first described by Eugène Simon in 1902, and has only been found in Madagascar.
Cyrtopholis is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892.
Entypesa is a genus of African mygalomorph spiders in the family Entypesidae. It was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1902. Originally placed with the curtain-web spiders, it was transferred to the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985, then to the Entypesidae in 2020. It is a senior synonym of Pseudohermacha.
Cyphalonotus is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895.
Nemoscolus is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895.
Pasilobus is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895.
Prasonica is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895.
Pseudartonis is a genus of African orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895.
Megaloremmius is a monotypic genus of Malagasy huntsman spiders containing the single species, Megaloremmius leo. It was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1903, and is found on Madagascar.
Tomoxena is a genus of Asian comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1895. As of June 2020 it contains three species, found in Asia: T. alearia, T. dives, and T. flavomaculata.
Avelis is a monotypic genus of African crab spiders containing the single species, Avelis hystriculus. It was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1895, and all identified species were found in the Cape Province of South Africa.
Firmicus is a genus of crab spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895.
