Goneatara is a genus of North American dwarf spiders that was first described by S. C. Bishop & C. R. Crosby in 1935. [2]
As of May 2019 [update] it contains four species, found in the United States: [1]
Linyphiidae, spiders commonly known as sheet weavers, or money spiders is a family of very small spiders comprising 4706 described species in 620 genera worldwide. This makes Linyphiidae the second largest family of spiders after the Salticidae. The family is poorly understood due to their small body size and wide distribution; new genera and species are still being discovered throughout the world. The newest such genus is Himalafurca from Nepal, formally described in April 2021 by Tanasevitch. Since it is so difficult to identify such tiny spiders, there are regular changes in taxonomy as species are combined or divided.
Scylaceus is a genus of North American sheet weavers that was first described by S. C. Bishop & C. R. Crosby in 1938. As of May 2019 it contains only two species, both found in Canada and the United States: S. pallidus and S. selma.
Eridantes is a genus of North American dwarf spiders that was first described by C. R. Crosby & S. C. Bishop in 1933. As of May 2019 it contains only three species: E. diodontos, E. erigonoides, and E. utibilis.
Cybaeopsis is a genus of tangled nest spiders first described by Embrik Strand in 1907, and transferred from Agelenidae to Amaurobiidae by Pekka T. Lehtinen in 1967. They all occur in North America except for three species; C. lodovicii, C. theoblicki and C. typica.
