Linyphiidae, spiders commonly known as sheet weavers, or money spiders is a family of very small spiders comprising 4706 described species in 620 genera worldwide. This makes Linyphiidae the second largest family of spiders after the Salticidae. The family is poorly understood due to their small body size and wide distribution; new genera and species are still being discovered throughout the world. The newest such genus is Himalafurca from Nepal, formally described in April 2021 by Tanasevitch. Since it is so difficult to identify such tiny spiders, there are regular changes in taxonomy as species are combined or divided.
Nesioneta is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. A. Beatty, J. W. Berry & Alfred Frank Millidge in 1991.
Abiskoa is a monotypic genus of dwarf spiders containing the single species, Abiskoa abiskoensis. It was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 2000, and has only been found in Europe, East Asia, and China.

Bisetifer is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by A. V. Tanasevitch in 1987. As of May 2019 it contains only two species: B. cephalotus and B. gruzin.
Crispiphantes is a genus of Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by A. V. Tanasevitch in 1992. As of May 2019 it contains only two species: C. biseulsanensis and C. rhomboideus.
Dactylopisthes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.

Houshenzinus is a genus of East Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by A. V. Tanasevitch in 2006. As of May 2019 it contains only three species, found in China: H. rimosus, H. tengchongensis, and H. xiaolongha.

Microbathyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by P. J. van Helsdingen in 1985.
Monocerellus is a monotypic genus of Asian dwarf spiders containing the single species, Monocerellus montanus. It was first described by A. V. Tanasevitch in 1983, and has only been found in Russia.
Nasoona is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by G. H. Locket in 1982.
Paracymboides is a genus of Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by A. V. Tanasevitch in 2011.
Parameioneta is a genus of Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by G. H. Locket in 1982.
Russocampus is a monotypic genus of Asian sheet weavers containing the single species, Russocampus polchaninovae. It was first described by A. V. Tanasevitch in 2004, and has only been found in Russia.
Tchatkalophantes is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by A. V. Tanasevitch in 2001.
Parbatthorax is a small genus of Asian sheet weavers first described by A. V. Tanasevitch in 2019. As of April 2022 it contains only two species: P. proiectus and P. unicornis. Its appearance resembles members of Gongylidioides and Glebala, but it can be distinguished by the unique shape of its carapace and a highly modified palpal tibia and paracymbium. The genus name is a combination of the Parbat District, where the first specimen was found, and the "thorax", whose unique shape is one of its distinguishing factors.
Erigomicronus is a genus of sheet weavers erected by A. V. Tanasevitch in 2018 for two east Asian species. In the following week, B. K. Seo published the new genus Collis for three Korean species. Further investigation revealed that all five belonged to the same genus, and preferences was given to the one published mere days before the other.
Vietnagone is a small genus of Asian sheet weavers native to southeastern Tibet and northern Vietnam. It was erected by A. V. Tanasevitch in 2019 for one newly described species and one transferred from Gongylidium. They are relatively small spiders, ranging from 1.5 to 1.78 millimetres long. The name is a combination of "Vietnam" and the genus Erigone, and as of April 2022 it contains only two species: V. rugulosa and V. silvatica.
