Dictyna is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the Dictynidae family, and was first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833. [2]
As of May 2019 [update] it contains 118 species: [1]
Tetragnatha is a genus of long-jawed orb-weavers found all over the world. It was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804, and it contains hundreds of species. Most occur in the tropics and subtropics, and many can run over water. They are commonly called stretch spiders in reference to their elongated body form and their ability to hide on blades of grass or similar elongated substrates by stretching their front legs forward and the others behind them. The name Tetragnatha is derived from Greek, tetra- a numerical prefix referring to four and gnatha meaning "jaw". On the Hawaiian islands, a shift of cursorial behavior occurred long ago, when their ancestors first arrived on the island chain.
Pardosa is a large genus of wolf spiders, with more than 500 described species that are found in all regions of the world.
Mimetus is a genus of pirate spiders in the family Mimetidae. They are found worldwide.
Erigone is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Jean Victoire Audouin in 1826. They are carnivorous, preying on small insects such as psylla and flies. One of the distinctive characters for this genus is the presence of teeth bordering the carapace.
Pirata is a genus of wolf spiders, commonly known as pirate wolf spiders.
Agyneta is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911.
Micaria is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Niklas Westring in 1851. They are 1.3 to 6.5 millimetres long.
Emblyna is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the Dictynidae family, and was first described by R. V. Chamberlin in 1948.
Lathys is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the Dictynidae family, and was first described by Eugène Simon in 1884. It is a replacement name for "Lethia" Menge, 1869 because that name was already in use as a synonym for a genus of moths.
