Diplocentria is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911. [4]
As of May 2019 [update] it contains eight species: [1]
Linyphiidae, spiders commonly known as sheet weavers, or money spiders is a family of very small spiders comprising 4706 described species in 620 genera worldwide. This makes Linyphiidae the second largest family of spiders after the Salticidae. The family is poorly understood due to their small body size and wide distribution; new genera and species are still being discovered throughout the world. The newest such genus is Himalafurca from Nepal, formally described in April 2021 by Tanasevitch. Since it is so difficult to identify such tiny spiders, there are regular changes in taxonomy as species are combined or divided.
Rugathodes is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Allan Frost Archer in 1950. It is closely related to members of Theridion and Wamba.
Ceratinella is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by James Henry Emerton in 1882. They are very similar to both Ceraticelus and Idionella, and the taxonomy of these spiders may change.
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.
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.
Semljicola is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Embrik Strand in 1906.
Bathyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1866.
Agyneta is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911.
Robertus is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1879. It is considered a senior synonym of Garritus.
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.
Centromerus is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by David B. Hirst in 1886.
Hilaira is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Micrargus is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Friedrich Dahl in 1886.
Oreonetides is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Embrik Strand in 1901.
Pelecopsis is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1864.
Collinsia is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1913.
