Batueta is a genus of Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by G. H. Locket in 1982. [2]
As of May 2019 [update] it contains four species: [1]
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.
Hersilia, also known as long-spinnereted bark spiders and two-tailed spiders, is a genus of tree trunk spiders that was first described by Jean Victoire Audouin in 1826. Their nicknames are a reference to their greatly enlarged spinnerets.
Neriene is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by John Blackwall in 1833.
Heteropoda is a genus of spiders in the family Sparassidae, the huntsman spiders. They are mainly distributed in tropical Asia and Australia, while at least one species, H. venatoria, has a cosmopolitan distribution, and H. variegata occurs in the Mediterranean.
Liphistius is a genus of basal trapdoor spiders in the family Liphistiidae. They are found in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia.
Sinopoda is a genus of Asian huntsman spiders that was first described by Peter Jäger in 1999.
Bathyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1866.
Psechrus is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Psechridae, and was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1878.
Ceratinopsis is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by James Henry Emerton in 1882.
Xyphinus is a genus of goblin spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1893.
Rhitymna is a genus of huntsman spiders described in 1897 by Eugène Simon. Members of this genus can be distinguished by a number of characteristics, but it is most often confused with Olios species, many of which also have the Y-shaped pattern on the dorsal opisthosoma.
Johorea is a monotypic genus of Southeast Asian dwarf spiders containing the single species, Johorea decorata. It was first described by G. H. Locket in 1982, and has only been found in Malaysia.
Kaestneria is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by H. Wiehle in 1956.
Nasoona is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by G. H. Locket in 1982.
Parameioneta is a genus of Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by G. H. Locket in 1982.
Tapinopa is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Niklas Westring in 1851.
Theoa is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo in 1995.
