Ketambea is a genus of Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by Alfred Frank Millidge & A. Russell-Smith in 1992. [2]
As of January 2023 [update] it contains nine species, found in China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Russia, and Thailand: [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.
Phintella is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by W. Bösenberg & Embrik Strand in 1906.
Synagelides is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by W. Bösenberg & Embrik Strand in 1906. This genus and Agorius are separated as a genus group, sometimes called subfamily Agoriinae, but more recently downranked to tribe Agoriini of the Salticoida clade in subfamily Salticinae.
Cyclosa, also called trashline orbweavers, is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Anton Menge in 1866. Widely distributed worldwide, spiders of the genus Cyclosa build relatively small orb webs with a web decoration. The web decoration in Cyclosa spiders is often linear and includes prey remains and other debris, which probably serve to camouflage the spider. The name "Cyclosa" comes from Greek 'to move in a circle', referring to how it spins its web.
Neriene is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by John Blackwall in 1833.
Meta is a genus of long-jawed orb-weavers that was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1835. They are often associated with caves, caverns, and recesses, earning some of them the name "cave orbweavers"
Clubiona is a genus of sac spiders that was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804.
Parasteatoda is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Allan Frost Archer in 1946. The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek "para-" (παρά), meaning "near" or "next to", and the theridiid genus Steatoda. The Japanese name for this genus is O-himogumo zoku.
Molestia is a genus of East Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by L. H. Tu, Michael I. Saaristo & S. Q. Li in 2006.
Bathyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1866.
Agyneta is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911.
Coscinida is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1895.
Himalaphantes is a genus of Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by A. V. Tanasevitch in 1992.
Kenocymbium is a genus of Southeast Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by Alfred Frank Millidge & A. Russell-Smith in 1992. As of May 2019 it contains only two species, both found in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand: K. deelemanae and K. simile.
Nasoona is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by G. H. Locket in 1982.
Paikiniana is a genus of Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by K. Y. Eskov in 1992.
Prosoponoides is a genus of Asian sheet weavers that was first described by Alfred Frank Millidge & A. Russell-Smith in 1992.
Otacilia is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Phrurolithidae, first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1897.
