Domitius is a genus of European scaffold web spiders first described by C. Ribera in 2018. [2]
As of April 2019 [update] it contains seven species: [1]
The recluse spiders, also known as brown spiders, fiddle-backs, violin spiders, and reapers, is a genus of spiders that was first described by R. T. Lowe in 1832. They are venomous spiders known for their bite, which sometimes produces a characteristic set of symptoms known as loxoscelism.
Dysderidae, also known as woodlouse hunters, sowbug-eating spiders, and cell spiders, is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1837. They are found primarily in Eurasia, extending into North Africa with very few species occurring in South America. Dysdera crocata is introduced into many regions of the world.
The Pholcidae are a family of araneomorph spiders. The family contains over 1,800 pholcids, including those commonly known as cellar spider, daddy long-legs spider, granddaddy long-legs spider, carpenter spider, daddy long-legger, vibrating spider, gyrating spider, long daddy, and skull spider. The family, first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1850, is divided into 94 genera.
Scaffold web spiders (Nesticidae) is a family of araneomorph spiders closely allied with tangle web spiders. Like the "Theridiidae", these spiders have a comb of serrated bristles on the hind tarsi that are used to pull silk bands from the spinnerets. It contains 16 genera and about 300 species, many of which are associated with caves or overhangs. The genus Nesticus is the type for the family and is found throughout the world. The related Eidmannella has speciated considerably in Texas caves and includes some extremely localized species that are considered threatened. One species, Eidmannella pallida, is found in caves and under overhangs, but also in agricultural fields and other habitats away from such restricted areas. The genus Carpathonesticus is found in central Eurasia.
Tegenaria is a genus of fast-running funnel weavers that occupy much of the Northern Hemisphere except for Japan and Indonesia. It was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804, though many of its species have been moved elsewhere. The majority of these were moved to Eratigena, including the giant house spider and the hobo spider.
Dysdera is a genus of woodlouse hunting spiders that was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804. They originated from Central Asia to Central Europe.
Troglohyphantes is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by G. Joseph in 1881. The genus name is a combination of the Ancient Greek τρώγλη (troglo-), meaning "cave (dweller)", and -hyphantes, a common ending for linyphiid genera.
Harpactea is a genus of woodlouse hunting spiders that was first described by W. S. Bristowe in 1939. They are non-web building predators that forage on the ground and on tree trunks at night, mainly in xerothermic forests. During the day, they hide in silk retreats they build under rocks or bark.
Nesticus is a genus of American and Eurasian scaffold web spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1869.
Agyneta is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911.
Alireza Zamani is an Iranian arachnologist and taxonomist.
Speleoharpactea is a monotypic genus of European woodlouse hunting spiders containing the single species, Speleoharpactea levantina. It was first described by C. Ribera in 1982, and has only been found in Spain.
Teloleptoneta is a monotypic genus of European leptonetids containing the single species, Teloleptoneta synthetica. It was first described by C. Ribera in 1988, and has only been found in Portugal.
Ochyrocera is a genus of midget ground weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892.
Kryptonesticus is a genus of European scaffold web spiders first described by Pavlek & Ribera in 2017. All but the type species were transferred from Nesticus. With the exception of K. eremita, individual species have very restricted ranges.
Ossinissa is a monotypic genus of cellar spiders containing the single species, Ossinissa justoi. It was first described by D. Dimitrov & C. Ribera in 2005, and is only found on the Canary Islands.
Palliduphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 2001.
Domitius beaticus is an araneomorph spider species of the family Nesticidae. It is known to occur in Spain. The species is troglobitic, occurring solely in caves.
