Isela is a genus of spiders in the family Mysmenidae, first described in 1985 by Griswold. As of 2016, it contains two African species. [1]
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.
Araneoidea is a taxon of araneomorph spiders, termed "araneoids", treated as a superfamily. As with many such groups, its circumscription has varied; in particular some families that had at one time moved to the Palpimanoidea have more recently been restored to Araneoidea. A 2014 treatment includes 18 families, with the araneoids making up about 26% of the total number of known spider species; a 2016 treatment includes essentially the same taxa, but now divided into 17 families.
The Entelegynae or entelegynes are a subgroup of araneomorph spiders, the largest of the two main groups into which the araneomorphs were traditionally divided. Females have a genital plate (epigynum) and a "flow through" fertilization system; males have complex palpal bulbs. Molecular phylogenetic studies have supported the monophyly of Entelegynae.
Mysmena wawuensis is a species of spider found in China. It grows to 0.75 millimetres long. It is named after the Wawu Mountain National Forest Park in Sichuan Province in southwestern China where it was discovered and first described in 2013 by Yucheng Lin and Shuqiang Li. It was collected from the leaf litter at an altitude of 1,929 metres (6,329 ft) and is only known from the type locality.
Mysmena is a genus of spiders in the family Mysmenidae, found in many parts of the world.
Brasilionata is a genus of Brazilian spiders first described by Wunderlich in 1995. It is represented by a single species, B. arborense. The defining characteristics of this genus include a homogeneous color pattern on the back of the abdomen, setae on the cymbial fold the same size as other setae, a space between the anterior median eyes, and a pointed switch on the end of the palpal bulb similar to that of Microdipoena. Only two specimens have been identified, one in 1995 and another in 2015.
Chanea is a genus of Chinese spiders in the family Mysmenidae first discovered in 2009. The name is derived from the Chinese word for "coil", referring to the coiled whip-like extension of the palpal bulb, a defining characteristic of the genus. There are two species in the genus, one described in 2009 and the other in 2016.
Microdipoena saltuensis, is a species of spider of the genus Microdipoena. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Microdipoena is a cosmopolitan genus of dwarf cobweb weaver spiders in the family Mysmenidae, containing sixteen species. Four new species were discovered from 2003 and 2013.
Phricotelus stelliger is a species of spider of the monotypic genus Phricotelus. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Acrobleps is a genus of Australian araneomorph spiders in the family Anapidae, containing the single species, Acrobleps hygrophilus. It was first described by V. V. Hickman in 1979, and has only been found in Australia.
Gaoligonga is a genus of spiders in the family Mysmenidae. It was first described in 2009 by Miller, Griswold & Yin. As of 2016, it contains 3 species from China and Vietnam.
Maymena is a genus of spiders in the family Mysmenidae. It was first described in 1960 by Gertsch. As of 2017, it contains 13 species.
Mysmeniola is a genus of spiders in the family Mysmenidae. It was first described in 1995 by Thaler. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Mysmeniola spinifera, found in Venezuela.
Simaoa is a genus of spiders in the family Mysmenidae. It was first described in 2009 by Miller, Griswold & Yin. As of 2016, it contains 4 species, all from China.
Guaraniella is a genus of South American comb-footed spiders that was first described by L. Baert in 1984. As of May 2020 it contains two species, found in Paraguay and Brazil: G. bracata and G. mahnerti.
Spinembolia is a monotypic genus of African comb-footed spiders containing the single species, Spinembolia clabnum. It was first described by Michael I. Saaristo in 2006, and is found on the Seychelles.
Stoda is a monotypic genus of African comb-footed spiders containing the single species, Stoda libudum. It was first described by Michael I. Saaristo in 2006, and is found on the Seychelles.
Yoroa is a genus of South Pacific comb-footed spiders that was first described by L. Baert in 1984. As of June 2020 it contains two species, found in Australia and Papua New Guinea: Y. clypeoglandularis and Y. taylori.
Yamaneta is a small genus of east Asian spurred orb-weavers. It was first described by C. C. Feng, J. A. Miller and Y. C. Lin in 2019, and it has only been found in China. As of February Y. kehen and Y. paquini. The type species, Yamaneta paquini, was originally described under the name "Maymena paquini".
