Falconina is a genus of corinnid sac spiders first described by Paolo Brignoli in 1985. [2]
As of October 2023 [update] it contains ten species: [1]
Oonopidae, also known as goblin spiders, is a family of spiders consisting of over 1,600 described species in about 113 genera worldwide, with total species diversity estimated at 2000 to 2500 species. The type genus of the family is OonopsKeyserling, 1835.
Corinnidae is a family of araneomorph spiders, sometimes called corinnid sac spiders. The family, like other "clubionoid" families, has a confusing taxonomic history. Once it was a part of the large catch-all taxon Clubionidae, now very much smaller. The original members of the family are apparently similar only in that they have eight eyes arranged in two rows, conical anterior spinnerets that touch and are generally wandering predators that build silken retreats, or sacs, usually on plant terminals, between leaves, under bark or under rocks.
Tenedos is a spider genus of the family Zodariidae. It has around 72 species from Central and South America.
Actinopus is a genus of mygalomorph spiders in the family Actinopodidae. It was first described by Josef Anton Maximilian Perty in 1833 from the type species Actinopus tarsalis found in Brazil. The name is derived from Greek actin- "ray, beam" and pous "foot". It is a senior synonym of Aussereria, Closterochilus, Pachyloscelis, and Theragretes.
Myrmecium is a genus of ant-mimicking corinnid sac spiders first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1824. The unrelated jumping spider species Synemosyna formica has been mistaken for a member of this genus twice, once by Eugène Simon in 1897 and once by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1932.
Micrathena, known as spiny orbweavers, is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833. Micrathena contains more than a hundred species, most of them Neotropical woodland-dwelling species. The name is derived from the Greek "micro", meaning "small", and the goddess Athena.
Corinna is a genus of corinnid sac spiders first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1841. They are found in Mexico and south to Brazil, and with selected species found in Africa.
Caponina is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Caponiidae, first described by Eugène Simon in 1892.
Elaver is a genus of sac spiders first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1898.
Stethorrhagus is a genus of South American corinnid sac spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1896.
Tupirinna is a genus of corinnid sac spiders first described by A. B. Bonaldo in 2000.
Neoxyphinus is a genus of spiders in the family Oonopidae. It was first described in 1953 by Birabén. As of 2017, it contains 48 species.
Otiothops is a genus of palp-footed spiders that was first described by W. S. MacLeay in 1839.
Cinetomorpha is a genus of goblin spiders first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892. It is a senior synonym of Lucetia, and Yumates.
