Macaroeris is a spider genus of the jumping spider family, Salticidae.
The genus name is combined from Macaronesia, where most species of the genus occur, and the salticid spider genus Eris .[ citation needed ]
As of June 2017, the World Spider Catalog lists the following species in the genus: [1]
Scaffold web spiders (Nesticidae) is a family of araneomorph spiders closely allied with tangle web spiders. Like the "Theridiidae", these spiders have a comb of serrated bristles on the hind tarsi that are used to pull silk bands from the spinnerets. It contains 16 genera and about 300 species, many of which are associated with caves or overhangs. The genus Nesticus is the type for the family and is found throughout the world. The related Eidmannella has speciated considerably in Texas caves and includes some extremely localized species that are considered threatened. One species, Eidmannella pallida, is found in caves and under overhangs, but also in agricultural fields and other habitats away from such restricted areas. The genus Carpathonesticus is found in central Eurasia.
Wall spider is the common name for members of the genus Oecobius. The members of these several species are all very small spiders that make small flat webs over crevices in walls and in similar spaces. They possess an organ called a cribellum, which is a kind of comb-like device used to separate fibers of silk drawn from its spinnerets into many extremely fine fibers. Those fibers are so small in diameter that prey insects easily become entangled in them. The spiders then bite them before they can get away.
Salticus is a genus of the family Salticidae. Salticus is the type genus for the family Salticidae.
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.
Pisaura is a genus of Eurasian spiders in the family Pisauridae.
Hogna is a genus of wolf spiders with more than 200 described species. It is found on all continents except Antarctica.
Metellina is a genus of tetragnathid spiders that occurs mostly in Eurasia, with two species found in North America. M. segmentata was introduced to Canada.
Lasaeola is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1881. The type species was described under the name Pachydactylus pronus, but was renamed Lasaeola prona when it was discovered that the name "Pachydactylus" was preoccupied. Both this genus and Deliana were removed from the synonymy of Dipoena in 1988, but many of these species require more study before their placement is certain.
Tenuiphantes is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 1996.
Lathys is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae, and was first described by Eugène Simon in 1884. It is a replacement name for "Lethia" Menge, 1869 because that name was already in use as a synonym for a genus of moths.
Scotognapha is a genus of European ground spiders that was first described by R. de Dalmas in 1920.
Canariellanum is a genus of European dwarf spiders that was first described by J. Wunderlich in 1987.
Zimirina is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by R. de Dalmas in 1919. Originally placed with the long-spinneret ground spiders, it was transferred to the ground spiders in 2018.
Palliduphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 2001.
Parapelecopsis is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. Wunderlich in 1992. The spider is found in woodlands in leaf litter, pine needles, moss at ground level and lichen and moss on tree trunks.
Scotargus is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1913.
Paidiscura is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Allan Frost Archer in 1950.
Bassaniodes is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1903.
Porrhoclubiona is a genus of sac spiders that was first described as a subgenus of Clubiona by H. Lohmander in 1944. Clubiona is a polyphyletic group that has been divided and reorganized many times, and whether this genus is a synonym of Clubiona or an independent genus is still under debate.
