Dicymbium is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1868. [2]
The etymology of the genus is based on the appearance of the male palp. The palpal tibia bears an elongated, broad, cup-shaped projection that surrounds the cymbium proper dorsally. Hence, Menge chose to name the genus Dicymbium, literally meaning two cymbia/a double cymbium. [3]
As of May 2019 [update] it contains eight species and one subspecies: [1]
Attulus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1889. The name is a diminutive form of a common prefix for salticid genera, -attus.
Drassodes is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Niklas Westring in 1851. They are brown, gray, and red spiders that live under rocks or bark in mostly dry habitats, and are generally 3.8 to 11.6 millimetres long, but can reach up to 20 millimetres (0.79 in) in length.
Neriene is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by John Blackwall in 1833.
Walckenaeria is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by John Blackwall in 1833. It is a senior synonym of Paragonatium, as well as Wideria, Cornicularia, Prosopotheca, Tigellinus, and Trachynella.
Agroeca is a genus of liocranid sac spiders that was first described by Niklas Westring in 1861.
Crustulina is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1868.
Euryopis is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1868.
Lasaeola is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1881. The type species was described under the name Pachydactylus pronus, but was renamed Lasaeola prona when it was discovered that the name "Pachydactylus" was preoccupied. Both this genus and Deliana were removed from the synonymy of Dipoena in 1988, but many of these species require more study before their placement is certain.
Bathyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1866.
Lathys is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae, 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.
Haplodrassus is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by R. V. Chamberlin in 1922. They range from 3 to 10 millimetres. H. signifer is the most widespread species, found across North America except for Alaska and northern Canada.
Baryphyma is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Entelecara is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Gonatium is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1868.
Helophora is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1866.
Microneta is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1869.
Porrhomma is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Tmeticus is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Anton Menge in 1868.
Neottiura is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1868.
Yunohamella is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by H. Yoshida in 2007.
