Linyphiidae is a family of very small spiders comprising 4694 described species in 623 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 Himalafurca from Nepal, formally described in April 2021 by Tanasevitch. Because of the difficulty in identifying such tiny spiders, there are regular changes in taxonomy as species are combined or divided.
The rusty-spotted genet, also called panther genet and large-spotted genet, is a genet that is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa. It is considered common and therefore listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
Ochyroceratidae is a six-eyed spider family, with 165 described species in ten genera. They are common inhabitants of caves and the tropical forest litter of South Africa, the Caribbean, Asia and South America. Considered an ecological counterpart of the Linyphiidae of the northern temperate zone, species are especially diverse in the Indo-Pacific region.
Mysmenidae is a spider family with about 135 described species in thirteen genera. The family is one of the least well known of the orb-weaving spiders because of their small size and cryptic behaviour. These spiders are found in humid habitats such as among leaf litter and in caves.
Carniella is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by K. Thaler & K.-H. Steinberger in 1988.
Coscinida is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1895.
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.
Asthenargus is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon & L. Fage in 1922.
Callitrichia is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by L. Fage in 1936.
Gongylidiellum is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Holmelgonia is a genus of African dwarf spiders that was first described by R. Jocqué & N. Scharff in 2007.
Machadocara is a genus of African dwarf spiders that was first described by F. Miller in 1970. As of May 2019 it contains only two species, both found in Middle Africa and Zambia: M. dubia and M. gongylioides.
Mecynidis is a genus of African dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1894. Originally placed with the tangle-web spiders, it was moved to the Linyphiidae in 1964.
Mioxena is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1926.
Moreiraxena is a monotypic genus of Central African dwarf spiders containing the single species, Moreiraxena chicapensis. It was first described by F. Miller in 1970, and has only been found in Angola.
Pseudomicrocentria is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by F. Miller in 1970.
Troxochrus is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Leviola is a genus of spiders in the family Zodariidae. It was first described in 1970 by Miller. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Leviola termitophila, found in Angola.
Proboscidula is a genus of African comb-footed spiders that was first described by F. Miller in 1970. As of June 2020 it contains two species, found in Africa: P. loricata and P. milleri.
Psilodercidae is a family of spiders first described as a subfamily of Ochyroceratidae by Machado in 1951 and raised to family rank by J. Wunderlich in 2008. These spiders can be distinguished by the "segestriid positioning" of their six eyes, the absence of leg bristles, strong apical bristles on the cymbium, and several pairs of spermathecae in females.
