Histopona is a genus of funnel weavers first described as a sub-genus of Hadites by Tamerlan Thorell in 1870. [3] It was elevated to genus by Brignoli in 1972. [4]
As of April 2019 [update] it contains twenty-two species: [1]
Dysderidae, also known as woodlouse hunters, sowbug-eating spiders, and cell spiders, is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1837. They are found primarily in Eurasia, extending into North Africa with very few species occurring in South America. Dysdera crocata is introduced into many regions of the world.
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.
Dysdera is a genus of woodlouse hunting spiders that was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804. They originated from Central Asia to Central Europe.
Amaurobius is a genus of tangled nest spiders that was first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1837.
Troglohyphantes is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by G. Joseph in 1881. The genus name is a combination of the Ancient Greek τρώγλη, meaning "cave (dweller)", and -hyphantes, a common ending for linyphiid genera.
Harpactea is a genus of woodlouse hunting spiders that was first described by W. S. Bristowe in 1939. They are non-web building predators that forage on the ground and on tree trunks at night, mainly in xerothermic forests. During the day, they hide in silk retreats they build under rocks or bark.
Inermocoelotes is a genus of funnel weavers that was first described by S. V. Ovtchinnikov in 1999.
Dasumia is a genus of woodlouse hunting spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1875.
Dysderocrates is a genus of woodlouse hunting spiders that was first described by Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold & P. R. Deeleman in 1988.
Folkia is a genus of Balkan woodlouse hunting spiders that was first described by J. Kratochvíl in 1970 as subgenus of Stalagtia, and elevated to genus status in 1974.
Kaemis is a genus of woodlouse hunting spiders that was first described by Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold in 1993.
Sulcia is a genus of Balkan leptonetids that was first described by J. Kratochvíl in 1938.
Kryptonesticus is a genus of European scaffold web spiders first described by Pavlek & Ribera in 2017. All but the type species were transferred from Nesticus. With the exception of K. eremita, individual species have very restricted ranges.
Centromerus is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by David B. Hirst in 1886.
Palliduphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 2001.
