Barronopsis is a genus of funnel weavers first described by R. V. Chamberlin & Ivie in 1941. [2]
As of April 2019 [update] it contains seven species: [1]
Agelenopsis, commonly known as the American grass spiders, is a genus of funnel weavers first described by C.G. Giebel in 1869. They weave sheet webs that have a funnel shelter on one edge. The web is not sticky, but these spiders make up for that shortcoming by running very rapidly. The larger specimens can grow to about 19 mm in body length. They may be recognized by the arrangement of their eight eyes into three rows. The top row has two eyes, the middle row has four eyes, and the bottom row has two eyes. They have two prominent hind spinnerets, somewhat indistinct bands on their legs, and two dark bands running down either side of the cephalothorax.
Habronattus is a genus in the family Salticidae. Most species are native to North America. They are commonly referred to as paradise spiders due to their colorful courtship ornaments and complex dances, similar to birds-of-paradise.
Metepeira is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by F. O. Pickard-Cambridge in 1903. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek μετά and the obsolete genus name Epeira, denoting a genus similar to Epeira.
Cicurina, also called the cave meshweaver, is a genus of dwarf sheet spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1871. Originally placed with the funnel weavers, it was moved to the Dictynidae in 1967, then to the Hahniidae in 2017. The name is from the Latin root "cucur-", meaning "to tame".
Dictyna is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae, and was first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833.
Plectreurys is a genus of plectreurid spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1893. It is one of only two genera in its family.
Calilena is a genus of North American funnel weavers first described by R. V. Chamberlin & Wilton Ivie in 1941.
Hololena is a genus of North American funnel weavers first described by R. V. Chamberlin & Willis J. Gertsch in 1929.
Emblyna is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae, and was first described by R. V. Chamberlin in 1948.
Eustala is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895.
Grammonota is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by James Henry Emerton in 1882.
Odo is a genus of spiders in the family Xenoctenidae, containing 27 species occurring in Central and South America, and Australia.
Phrurolithus is a genus of araneomorph spiders first described by C. L. Koch in 1839. First placed with the Liocranidae, it was moved to the Corinnidae in 2002, then to the Phrurolithidae in 2014.
Phrurotimpus is a genus of araneomorph spiders first described by R. V. Chamberlin and Wilton Ivie in 1935. The name is a compound adjective meaning "guarding the stone". Originally added to the Liocranidae, it was moved to the Corinnidae in 2002, then to the Phrurolithidae in 2014. They have red egg sacs that look like flattened discs, often found on the underside of stones.
Xenoctenidae is a family of araneomorph spiders separated from Miturgidae in 2017.
