Campanicola is a genus of spiders in the family Theridiidae. It was first described in 2015 by Yoshida. [1]
As of May 2022 [update] it contains ten species, found only in Asia: [2]
Theridiidae, also known as the tangle-web spiders, cobweb spiders and comb-footed spiders, is a large family of araneomorph spiders first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833. This diverse, globally distributed family includes over 3,000 species in 124 genera, and is the most common arthropod found in human dwellings throughout the world.
Scaffold web spiders or cave cobweb spiders (Nesticidae) are a family of araneomorph spiders closely allied with tangle-web spiders (Theridiidae). Like the Theridiidae, these spiders have a comb of serrated bristles on the hind tarsi that are used to pull silk bands from the spinnerets. Nesticidae contains 16 genera and about 300 species, many of which are associated with caves or overhangs. The genus Nesticus is the type for the family and is found throughout the world. The related Eidmannella has speciated considerably in Texas caves and includes some extremely localized species that are considered threatened. One species, Eidmannella pallida, is found in caves and under overhangs, but also in agricultural fields and other habitats away from such restricted areas. The genus Carpathonesticus is found in central Eurasia.
Achaearanea is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Embrik Strand in 1929.
Episinus is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1809.
Chrysso is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1882.
Chrosiothes is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1894. It is considered a senior synonym of Theridiotis.
Anelosimus is a cosmopolitan genus of cobweb spiders (Theridiidae), currently containing 74 species. Anelosimus is a key group in the study of sociality and its evolution in spiders. It contains species spanning the spectrum from solitary to highly social (quasisocial), with eight quasisocial species, far more than any other spider genus. Among these is the South American social species Anelosimus eximius, among the best studied social spider species.
Parasteatoda is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Allan Frost Archer in 1946. The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek "para-" (παρά), meaning "near" or "next to", and the theridiid genus Steatoda. The Japanese name for this genus is O-himegumo zoku.
Platnickina is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by A. Ö. Koçak & M. Kemal in 2008.
Chikunia is a genus of Asian comb-footed spiders that was first described by H. Yoshida in 2009. These spiders are small, often dark or orange colored. This species can be found in solidarity, though they can also be found in colonies.
Molione is a genus of Asian comb-footed spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1893.
Phoroncidia is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by J. O. Westwood in 1835.
Meotipa is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1895.
Phycosoma is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1880.
Spheropistha is a genus of Asian comb-footed spiders that was first described by T. Yaginuma in 1957.
Tekellina is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Herbert Walter Levi in 1957.
Yunohamella is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by H. Yoshida in 2007.
Keijiella is a genus of spiders in the family Theridiidae. It was first described in 2016 by Yoshida. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Keijiella oculiprominens, found in "China, Taiwan, Laos, Korea, Japan".
Campanicola tanakai is a species of comb-footed spider in the family Theridiidae. It is found in Taiwan. It was first described by Yoshida in 2015.
Grandilithus is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Phrurolithidae. It was first described by Liu & Li in 2022.
