Halorates is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911. [2]
As of May 2019 [update] it contains four species, found in China, Kazakhstan, and Pakistan: [1]
Linyphiidae is a family of very small spiders comprising 4667 described species in 618 genera worldwide. This makes Linyphiidae the second largest family of spiders after the Salticidae. The family is poorly known; new genera and species are still being discovered throughout the world. The newest such genus is Yuelushannus from China, formally described in May 2020. Because of the difficulty in identifying such tiny spiders, there are regular changes in taxonomy as species are combined or divided.
Savignia is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by John Blackwall in 1833. The name honors the French naturalist Marie Jules César Savigny.
Agyneta is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911.
Acartauchenius is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Megalepthyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. Wunderlich in 1994.
Abiskoa is a monotypic genus of dwarf spiders containing the single species, Abiskoa abiskoensis. It was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 2000, and has only been found in Europe, East Asia, and China.
Anguliphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 1996.
Araeoncus is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884. They closely resemble members of Diplocephalus; both genera have a uniquely shaped of the cephalothorax and a species-specific modification of the tibial apophysis of the pedipalp.
