Scaffold web spiders (Nesticidae) is a family of araneomorph spiders closely allied with tangle web spiders. 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. It 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.
Tegenaria is a genus of fast-running funnel weavers that occupy much of the Northern Hemisphere except for Japan and Indonesia. It was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804, though many of its species have been moved elsewhere. The majority of these were moved to Eratigena, including the giant house spider and the hobo spider.
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".
Zodarion is a genus of ant-eating spiders from the family Zodariidae. Over 150 species from Eurasia and North Africa have been described as of May 2017.
Alopecosa is a spider genus in the family Lycosidae, with about 160 species. They have a largely Eurasian distribution, although some species are found in North Africa and North America.
Amaurobius is a genus of tangled nest spiders that was first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1837.
Harpactea is a genus of woodlouse hunting spiders that was first described by W. S. Bristowe in 1939. They are non-web building predators that forage on the ground and on tree trunks at night, mainly in xerothermic forests. During the day, they hide in silk retreats they build under rocks or bark.
Carpathonesticus caucasicus is a species of araneomorph spider of the family Nesticidae. It occurs in Georgia, where it is found in caves.
Carpathonesticus paraavrigensis is a species of araneomorph spider of the family Nesticidae. It occurs in Romania, where it was discovered in a narrow gorge, on the overhanging side.
Carpathonesticus racovitzai is an araneomorph spider species of the family Nesticidae. It occurs in Romania, where it can be found both in caves and outdoors. It was transferred from the genus Nesticus to Carpathonesticus in 1982 by Weiss and Heimer.
Centromerus is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by David B. Hirst in 1886.
Palliduphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 2001.
Pelecopsis is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1864.
