Dipoena santacatarinae is a species of araneomorphae spider in the family Theridiidae.
The male holotype measures 1.3 millimetres (0.051 in) and the female paratype 1.7 millimetres (0.067 in). [1]
The name of the species comes from the place of its discovery, Santa Catarina. [1]
The species is endemic to Brazil. It is found in the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. [2]
Theridiidae, also known as the tangle-web spiders, cobweb spiders and comb-footed spiders, is a large family of araneomorph spiders first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833. This diverse, globally distributed family includes over 3,000 species in 124 genera, and is the most common arthropod found in human dwellings throughout the world.
Styposis is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1894. It is a senior synonym of Cyatholipulus.
Hetschkia is a monotypic genus of Brazilian comb-footed spiders containing the single species, Hetschkia gracilis. It was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1886, and is found in Brazil.
Wirada is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1886.
Craspedisia is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1894. As of May 2020 it contains three species, found in China, the Dominican Republic, and Brazil: C. cornuta, C. longioembolia, and C. spatulata.
Thwaitesia is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1881.
Ariamnes makue is a species of spider in the family Theridiidae. They are endemic to the island of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands. Males range in size from 5.3 to 5.7 millimetres and females from 5.8 to 6.3 millimetres. The name derives from the Hawaiian word "māku'e," meaning "dark in color."
Ariamnes uwepa is a species of spider from the family Theridiidae. It is only known to be found on Oahu, in the Hawaiian Islands. The name derives from the Hawaiian word "uwepa," meaning whip.
Anelosimus monskenyensis is a small species of spider in the family Theridiidae. It has only been found on Mount Kenya, the location from which its name originates. Males range in size from 1.80 to 1.90 millimetres, while females range from 1.90 to 2.55 millimetres. Specimens were shades of brown and white, although color variation is not known. They may kleptoparasitically inhabit the webs of agelenid spiders, although this behavior is not found in other Anelosimus species. Agnarsson and Zhang find it more probable that A. monskenyensis is a social or semi-social spider.
Anelosimus sulawesi is a small species of spiders in the family Theridiidae. It is known only from Dumoga Bone National Park, Sulawesi, Indonesia. The name derives from the location it was discovered. The holotype male is 2.00 millimetres (0.079 in) total length, while a female of the same species was measured to be 2.05 millimetres (0.081 in). The coloration is brown with some white on the dorsal folium, similar to other species in Anelosimus.
Anelosimus kohi is a species of spider in the family Theridiidae. It is found in Singapore and Malaysia. The species is named for Joseph K. H. Koh, an entomologist from Singapore who collected the holotype specimen.
Anelosimus nelsoni is a species of spider in the family Theridiidae. It is only known from iSimangaliso Wetland Park, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is named for Nelson Mandela. The male holotype specimen is 2.08 millimetres (0.082 in) in length, and the female paratype is 2.60 millimetres (0.102 in) in length. Both the holotype and paratype were found on Fanies Island, 5 km south of Cape Vidal. Both were collected from bushes or trees in an open forest patch.
Anelosimus agnar is a species of spider in the family Theridiidae. The holotype and paratype specimens were collected in Teluk Mahkota, Johor, Malaysia. Both specimens are female; this species currently lack information on males. The spider is named for Agnar Ingólfsson, the father of the discoverer, Ingi Agnarsson. Females can be identified as members of this species by unusually long and flimsy copulatory ducts. Females range in size from 2.05 to 2.40 millimetres. Both the holotype and paratype were collected from small webs at the tips of branches, from a forested area next to a beach.
Anelosimus linda is a species of spider in the family Theridiidae. The holotype and paratype specimens were collected in Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia. Both specimens are female; this species currently lack information on males. The spider is named for Linda Wendel, the mother of the discoverer, Ingi Agnarsson. Females are approximately 1.90 millimetres (0.075 in). A. linda lives in mid-elevation forest; both the holotype and paratype were collected at 1550m elevation.
Anelosimus pratchetti is a species of tangle-web spider found in New South Wales, Australia. Initial field observations indicate it is a subsocial spider. It lives in low elevation environments, including beachfront mangrove forests. It was identified by Ingi Agnarsson in 2012, who named the species after Terry Pratchett, whom Agnarsson described as "a comic genius".
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.
Phylloneta is a genus of comb-footed spiders formerly considered a sub-genus of Allotheridion, and raised to genus status in 2008. The type species was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1884 as Theridion pictipes. As of September 2019 it contains three species and two subspecies with a holarctic distribution: P. impressa, P. pictipes, P. sisyphia, P. s. foliifera, and P. s. torandae.
Okumaella is a monotypic genus of East Asian comb-footed spiders containing the single species, Okumaella okumae. It was first described by H. Yoshida in 2009, and is found in Japan. This genus is named in honour of the Japanese arachnologist Chiyoko Okuma.
Yaginumena is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by H. Yoshida in 2002. As of June 2020 it contains three species, found in Asia and Turkey: Y. castrata, Y. maculosa, and Y. mutilata.
