Chilelopsis is a genus of spider in the family Pycnothelidae.
As of April 2016 [update] , the World Spider Catalog accepted the following species: [1]
Missulena is a genus of mygalomorph spiders in the family Actinopodidae. It was first described by Charles Walckenaer in 1805, and is a senior synonym of Eriodon. M. tussulena is found in Chile, but the rest are indigenous to Australia. They are sometimes referred to as "mouse spiders" from the now-disproven belief that they dig deep burrows similar to those of mice. Scotophaeus blackwalli is also called a "mouse spider", but it is smaller and not closely related.
Plesiolena is a small genus of South American mygalomorph spiders in the family Actinopodidae. It was first described by Pablo A. Goloboff and Norman I. Platnick in 1987, and it has only been found in Chile. The name is a combination of "plesiomorphy" and the genus Missulena. As of November 2021 it contains only 2 species: P. bonneti and P. jorgelina.
Migidae, also known as tree trapdoor spiders, is a family of spiders with about 100 species in eleven genera. They are small to large spiders with little to no hair and build burrows with a trapdoor. Some species live in tree fern stems. They have a Gondwanan distribution, found almost exclusively on the Southern Hemisphere, occurring in South America, Africa, Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia.
Austrochilidae is a small spider family with nine species in two genera. Austrochilus and Thaida are endemic to the Andean forest of central and southern Chile and adjacent Argentina.
Stenoterommata uruguai is a mygalomorph spider of Argentina, named after its type locality: Salto del Uruguaí. This species is distinguished from other Stenoterommata by its spermathecae consisting of a single dome bearing numerous receptacula. Its spermathecae are similar to those of S. quena, but in S. uruguai the basal dome is more rounded.
Chilelopsis minima is a species of mygalomorph spiders found in Chile. It formerly belonged in the genus Flamencopsis. The specific name was given because it is the smallest member of the tribe Diplothelopsini.
Chilelopsis serena is a species of mygalomorph spiders of Chile, named after its type locality: La Serena, Elqui, Region IV. Males differ from those both C. calderoni and C. puertoviejo in the absence of a patch of setae on the apical tibia I, and also in the palpal tibia having dorsal spines and the bulbal duct being abruptly narrowed at the apex. Females differ from the two other species by their divided spermathecae.
Chilelopsis puertoviejo is a species of mygalomorph spiders of Chile, named after its type locality: Puerto Viejo, Copiapó, Region III. The species is most similar to C. calderoni, but differs in having the distal portion of the male bulbal duct less sinuous and the female spermathecae of uniform width, with no differentiated fundus. It differs from C. serena in the undivided female spermathecae and the male tibia I having a dense apical patch of setae.
Chilelopsis calderoni is a species of mygalomorph spiders of Chile, named after Dr Raúl Calderón. Males differ from C. puertoviejo in the more sinuous distal portion of the bulbal duct; females differ in the spermathecae with a distinct fundus and a narrowed duct. Males differ from C. serena by the presence of a dense patch of setae on the anterior tibiae, females in the undivided spermathecae.
Lycinus quilicura is a mygalomorph spider of Chile, named after its type locality: Quilicura, Región Metropolitana. The species is distinguished from others in the genus by its distinctly long embolus.
Lycinus domeyko is a mygalomorph spider of Chile, named after its type locality: Domeyko, Huasco, Region III. It is the smallest species in the genus. Its size, the size of the bulb, its short embolus and the cymbial setae directed toward the apex distinguish this species from all other Lycinus.
Chaco patagonica is a species of mygalomorph spiders of Argentina, named after its type locality in Patagonia, specifically Chubut Province, Argentina. The species can be distinguished from C. tecka by not having a patterned cephalothorax and legs, by possessing less maxillary cuspules and by the absence of pseudopreening combs. It also differs from C. sanjuanina by having few labial cuspules.
Acanthogonatus is a genus of South American mygalomorph spiders in the family Pycnothelidae. It was first described by Ferdinand Anton Franz Karsch in 1880. Originally placed with the brushed trapdoor spiders, it was transferred to the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985, then to the Pycnothelidae in 2020.
Chaco is a genus of spider in the family Pycnothelidae.
Lycinus is a genus of spider in the family Pycnothelidae, found in parts of South America.
Stenoterommata is a genus of South American araneomorph spiders in the family Pycnothelidae. It was first described by E. L. Holmberg in 1881. Originally placed with the Ctenizidae, it was transferred to the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985, then to the Pycnothelidae in 2020. It is a senior synonym of Ctenochelus.
Goloboffia is a genus of spiders in the family Migidae. It was first described in 2001 by Griswold and Ledford to accommodate the single species Goloboffia vellardi, found in Chile. In 2019, more species were described. As of September 2020, five species were accepted:
Pycnothelidae is a family of mygalomorph spiders first described in 1917. It was downgraded to a subfamily of the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985, but returned to family status in 2020.
