The Thomisidae are a family of spiders, including about 175 genera and over 2,100 species. The common name crab spider is often linked to species in this family, but is also applied loosely to many other families of spiders. Many members of this family are also known as flower spiders or flower crab spiders.
Xysticus is a genus of ground crab spiders described by C. L. Koch in 1835, belonging to the order Araneae, family Thomisidae. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek root xyst, meaning "scraped, scraper".
Felsina is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 1895 by Simon. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Felsina granulum, found in West Africa.
Thomisus onustus is a crab spider species in the genus Thomisus belonging to the family Thomisidae.
Boliscus is a genus of Asian crab spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1891. As of February 2019 it contains only three species. B. tuberculatus is easily the most studied and well known of the three. The other two, B. duricorius and B. decipiens, are only known from females found by Eugène Simon in 1880 and Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1899, respectively. In his 2016 publication in the Indian Journal of Arachnology, Pekka T. Lehtinen commented that this genus and its close relatives, including Corynethrix and possibly Boliscodes, need a taxonomic revision with the help of molecular analysis and that the absence of male specimens in two of the three species may make this difficult.
Corynethrix is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 1876 by L. Koch. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Corynethrix obscura, found in Australia.
Cynathea is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 1895 by Simon. As of 2017, it contains three species, all found in Africa.
Diplotychus is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 1903 by Simon. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Diplotychus longulus, found in Madagascar.
Domatha is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 1895 by Simon. As of 2017, it contains 2 species from New Guinea and the Philippines.
Haedanula is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 1941 by Caporiacco. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Haedanula subinermis, found in Ethiopia.
Herbessus is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 1903 by Simon. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Herbessus decorsei, found in Madagascar.

Micromisumenops is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 2010 by Tang & Li. As of 2017, it contains only one Chinese species, Micromisumenops xiushanensis.
Misumessus is a genus of North American and Caribbean crab spiders first described by Nathan Banks in 1904. They look similar to members of Misumena, but are much spinier. It was considered a monotypic genus until 2017, but its taxonomic standing has been debated throughout the 20th century, first as a synonym of Misumenops, then later as its subgenus. It was raised to genus status in 2008, but has still been confused with similar genera, some of which were only known by character descriptions made by Eugène Simon nearly fifty years earlier.
Parasmodix is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. It was first described in 1966 by Jézéquel. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Parasmodix quadrituberculata, found in Ivory Coast.
