Flavarchaea is a genus of South Pacific shield spiders that was first described by Michael Gordon Rix in 2006. [2]
As of June 2019 [update] it contains eight species, found only in Australia and on New Caledonia: [1]
Paraplatoides is a genus of South Pacific jumping spiders that was first described by Marek Michał Żabka in 1992.
Migidae, also known as tree trapdoor spiders, is a family of spiders with about 100 species in eleven genera. They are small to large spiders with little to no hair and build burrows with a trapdoor. Some species live in tree fern stems. They have a Gondwanan distribution, found almost exclusively on the Southern Hemisphere, occurring in South America, Africa, Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia.
Anapidae is a family of rather small spiders with 232 described species in 58 genera. It includes the former family Micropholcommatidae as the subfamily Micropholcommatinae, and the former family Holarchaeidae. Most species are less than 2 millimetres (0.079 in) long.
Idiosoma is a genus of Australian armoured trapdoor spiders that was first described by Anton Ausserer in 1871. Originally placed with the Ctenizidae, it was moved to the armoured trapdoor spiders in 1985. The name is derived from the Greek ἴδιος, meaning "individual, unique", and σῶμα, meaning "body", referring to the distinctive structure of the abdomen.
Arkys, also known as triangular spider or ambush spider, is a genus of Australian araneomorph spiders in the family Arkyidae, first described by Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1837. They are often small, with a triangular shaped abdomen, and are found in Australia and some of its surrounding islands. They don't build webs, but can often be found on leaves and tips of flower heads. Their egg sacs are pinkish-orange and spherical, and are made late in the summer.
Arbanitis is a genus of Australian armoured trapdoor spiders that was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1874.
Blakistonia is a genus of Australian armoured trapdoor spiders that was first described by Henry Roughton Hogg in 1902.
Cataxia is a genus of Australian armoured trapdoor spiders that was first described by William Joseph Rainbow in 1914.
Euoplos is a genus of armoured trapdoor spiders that is endemic to Australia. It was first described by William Joseph Rainbow in 1914.
Plebs is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by M. M. Joseph & V. W. Framenau in 2012. Though many of its species have been moved around, a 2012 taxonomic revision suggested that these spiders comprise a monophyletic genus of closely related spiders that evolved in Australia and, through subsequent movements, spread into parts of Asia and Pacific islands.
Hemicloea is a genus of South Pacific flat spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1870. Originally placed with the ground spiders, it was moved to the Trochanteriidae in 2018.
Arkyidae, also known as triangular spiders, is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1872 as a subfamily of Araneidae, and later elevated to a full family in 2017.
Austrarchaea is a genus of Australian assassin spiders first described by Raymond Robert Forster & Norman I. Platnick in 1984. 25 species were described by Michael Gordon Rix and Mark Stephen Harvey in 2011, 2012, and 2024.
Anarchaea is a genus of Australian shield spiders that was first described by Michael Gordon Rix in 2006.
Nanarchaea is a genus of Australian shield spiders that was first described by Michael Gordon Rix in 2006. As of June 2019 it contains only two species, found in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland: N. binnaburra and N. bryophila.
Ozarchaea is a genus of South Pacific shield spiders that was first described by Michael Gordon Rix in 2006.
Hortophora is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders first described by V. W. Framenau, R. L. C. Baptista and F. S. M. Oliveira in 2021.
Cryptoforis is a genus of armoured trapdoor spiders. It is endemic to Australia. It was first described by Jeremy Wilson, Michael Rix and Robert Raven in 2020.
