Cangoderces is a genus of African long-legged cave spiders that was first described by Harington in 1951. [2]
As of September 2019 [update] it contains six species, found in Africa: [1]
The sac spiders of the family Clubionidae are nocturnal, sac-building hunting spiders with a near-worldwide distribution. Their sacs, silken retreats in which they hide during the day, may be made in a variety of places, including between folded leaves or grass blades, under bark and below rocks or other ground litter.
Oonopidae, also known as goblin spiders, is a family of spiders consisting of over 1,600 described species in about 113 genera worldwide, with total species diversity estimated at 2000 to 2500 species. The type genus of the family is OonopsKeyserling, 1835.
Ochyroceratidae is a six-eyed spider family, with 165 described species in ten genera. They are common inhabitants of caves and the tropical forest litter of South Africa, the Caribbean, Asia and South America. Considered an ecological counterpart of the Linyphiidae of the northern temperate zone, species are especially diverse in the Indo-Pacific region.
Telemidae, also known as long-legged cave spiders, is a family of small haplogyne spiders. Most are cave dwelling spiders with six eyes, though some do not have any eyes at all. There are about 104 described species in sixteen genera.
Cheiracanthium, commonly called yellow sac spiders, is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Cheiracanthiidae, and was first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1839. They are usually pale in colour, and have an abdomen that can range from yellow to beige. Both sexes range in size from 5 to 10 millimetres. They are unique among common house spiders because their tarsi do not point either outward, like members of Tegenaria, or inward, like members of Araneus, making them easier to identify.
Neriene is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by John Blackwall in 1833.
Macrothele is a genus of mygalomorph spiders in the family Macrothelidae, and was first described by A. Ausserer in 1871. Most of the species in the genus occur in Asia, from India to Japan, and Java, with five found in Africa, and two in Europe. The name is derived from Ancient Greek μακρός ("makro-"), meaning "big", and θηλή ("thele"), referring to the spinnerets.
Seychellia is a genus of long-legged cave spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo in 1978.
Ero is a genus of pirate spiders first described in 1836. They resemble comb-footed spiders due to their globular abdomen, which is higher than it is long.
Agyneta is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911.
Apneumonella is a genus of long-legged cave spiders that was first described by L. Fage in 1921. It is one of several genera, including Telema, Usofila, and Cangoderces, whose relationship within the family and to these other genera is still poorly understood.
Microdipoena is a cosmopolitan genus of dwarf cobweb weaver spiders in the family Mysmenidae. It was first described by Nathan Banks in 1895.
Hahnia is a genus of dwarf sheet spiders that was first described by C. L. Koch in 1841.
Psiloderces is a genus of six eyed spiders in the family Psilodercidae, first described by Eugène Simon in 1892.
Speocera is a genus of six eyed spiders in the family Ochyroceratidae.
Jocquella is a genus of Papuan long-legged cave spiders that was first described by L. Baert in 1980. As of September 2019 it contains two species, found in Papua New Guinea: J. boisai and J. leopoldi.
Eriovixia is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Allan Frost Archer in 1951.
Troglocoelotes is a genus of east Asian funnel weavers. It was first described by B. Li, Z. Zhao and C. T. Zhang in 2019, and it has only been found in China.
