Leptothele is a genus of Southeast Asian spiders in the family Euagridae first described by Robert Raven and Peter J. Schwendinger in 1995. [2] It is native to the Malay Peninsula. [1] [3]
The family Dipluridae, known as curtain-web spiders are a group of spiders in the infraorder Mygalomorphae, that have two pairs of booklungs, and chelicerae (fangs) that move up and down in a stabbing motion. A number of genera, including that of the Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax), used to be classified in this family but have now been moved to Atracidae.
The family Cyrtaucheniidae, known as wafer-lid trapdoor spiders, are a widespread family of Mygalomorphae spiders.
Idiopidae, also known as armored or spiny trapdoor spiders, is a family of mygalomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1889.
Microstigmatidae is a small family of spiders with about 38 described species in eleven genera. They are small ground-dwelling and free-living spiders that make little use of silk.
Nemesiidae is a family of mygalomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1889, and raised to family status in 1985. Before becoming its own family, it was considered part of "Dipluridae". The family is sometimes referred to as wishbone spiders due to the shape of their burrows.
Pacullidae is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1894. It was merged into Tetrablemmidae in 1958, then raised back to family status after a large phylogenetic study in 2017.
Sason is a genus of bark-dwelling brushed trapdoor spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1887. It is distributed from the Seychelles through India to northern Australia. The closest related genus seems to be the monotypic Paracenobiopelma.
Cyclocosmia is a genus of mygalomorph trapdoor spiders in the family Halonoproctidae, first described by Anton Ausserer in 1871. Originally placed with the Ctenizidae, when the family split in 2018, this genus was placed with the Halonoproctidae as the type genus. The name is derived from the Greek "kyklos" (κυκλος), meaning "circle", and "kosmeo" (κοσμεω), meaning "to adorn".
Liphistius is a genus of basal trapdoor spiders in the family Liphistiidae. They are found in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia.
Prothemenops is a genus of Southeast Asian armored trapdoor spiders that was first described by Peter J. Schwendinger in 1991.
Latouchia is a genus of Asian mygalomorph spiders in the family Halonoproctidae, first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1901. The genus is presumably named in honour of John David Digues La Touche as co-collector of the first described species Latouchia fossoria.
Conothele is a genus of mygalomorph spiders in the family Halonoproctidae, first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1878. Originally placed with the Ctenizidae, it was moved to the Halonoproctidae in 2018.
Phyxioschema is a genus of Asian spiders in the family Euagridae. It was first described by Eugène Simon in 1889.
Perania is a genus of Asian araneomorph spiders in the family Pacullidae that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1890. It is considered a senior synonym of Mirania.
Leptothele bencha is a species of spiders in the family Euagridae first described by Robert Raven & Peter J. Schwendinger in 1995, and is native to the Malay Peninsula.
Angka hexops is a species of Southeast Asian spiders in the family Microstigmatidae. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Angka. It was first described by Robert Raven & Peter J. Schwendinger in 1995, and has only been found in Thailand.
Euagridae is a family of mygalomorph spiders. The group was first described as a tribe in 1979 by Robert Raven, who in 1985 elevated it to a subfamily. In 2020, Opatova et al. elevated it further to a family.
Leptothele chang is a species of spider in the family Euagridae native to Thailand.
Malayathele is a genus of southeast Asian mygalomorph spiders in the family Euagridae. It was first described by Peter J. Schwendinger, C. Lehmann-Graber and K. Hongpadharakiree in 2020, and it has only been found in Malaysia.
