Fedotovia is a genus of Asian ground spiders that was first described by Dmitry Kharitonov in 1946. [2]
As of May 2019 [update] it contains four species: [1]
Liocranidae is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1897. They are one of several groups called "sac spiders". The holarctic genus Agroeca is the best-known, but it also includes various genera of more obscure spiders that still lack a diagnosis. Two species in the North American genus Neoanagraphis are found in the extremely dry conditions in the Mojave, Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts. Females live in animal burrows while males wander and are the ones most often caught in pitfall traps.
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.
Chalcoscirtus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Philipp Bertkau in 1880. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek chalc-, meaning "copper", and scirt-, meaning "leap".
Alopecosa is a spider genus in the family Lycosidae, with about 160 species. They have a largely Eurasian distribution, although some species are found in North Africa and North America.
Segestria is a genus of tube dwelling spiders that was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804.
Pireneitega is a genus of funnel weavers first described by Kyukichi Kishida in 1955.
Mongolicosa is a genus of wolf spiders containing eight species found in central Asia from the Altai Mountains east to western Buryatia and south to Xinjiang and the Gobi Desert.
Gnaphosa is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804. They all have a serrated keel on the retromargin of each chelicera.
Cedicoides is a genus of spiders in the family Cybaeidae made up of four species. It is characterized by well developed tegulum on the bulb of the male pedipalp. When it was published by Charitonov in 1946, it acted as a subgenus to Cedicus. Later, it was argued that the differences between spiders of Cedicoides and those of other subgenera - notably the presence of a terminal apophysis and the shape of the male pedipalp - were great enough to warrant a new genus. In 2003, it was upgraded from subgenus to genus status by Marusik & Guseinov. Spiders of this genus are rare, and are often missing from spider collections taken from these regions during any time other than their mating season.
Zaitunia is a genus of crevice weavers that was first described by Pekka T. Lehtinen in 1967.
Carpathonesticus is a genus of spiders in the family Nesticidae. It was first described in 1980 by Lehtinen & Saaristo. As of December 2019, it contains 21 species.
Raveniola is a genus of spiders in the family Nemesiidae, first described in 1987 by Zonstein.
Berlandina is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Raymond de Dalmas in 1922.
Parasyrisca is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by E. Schenkel in 1963. Originally placed with the sac spiders, it was moved to the Miturgidae in 1967, then to the ground spiders in 1988.
Synaphosus is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick & M. U. Shadab in 1980.
Pterotricha is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Władysław Kulczyński in 1903.
Psammitis is a genus of crab spiders first described by Anton Menge in 1876.
Spiracme is a genus of crab spiders erected by Anton Menge in 1876 to contain S. striata, transferred from Xysticus. The exact relationship of these spiders and their closest relatives has been long debated, and many included species have been transferred to and from similar genera, namely Xysticus and Ozyptila. Most recently, Rainer Breitling conducted a DNA barcoding study in 2019 and grouped similar species based on the results:
