Merizocera is a genus of six eyed spiders in the family Psilodercidae, [1] first described by Jean-Louis Fage in 1912. [2]
As of January 2021 [update] , the World Spider Catalog accepts the following species: [1]
Oonopidae, also known as goblin spiders, is a family of spiders consisting of over 1,600 described species in about 113 genera worldwide, with total species diversity estimated at 2000 to 2500 species. The type genus of the family is OonopsKeyserling, 1835.
Tetrablemmidae, sometimes called armored spiders, is a family of tropical araneomorph spiders first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1873. It contains 126 described species in 29 genera from southeast Asia, with a few that occur in Africa and Central and South America. Pacullidae was incorporated into this family in 1981, but was later restored as a separate family in a 2016 phylogenetic study.
Stenochilidae is a family of southeast Asian araneomorph spiders that produce ecribellate silk. First described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1873, it now contains twelve described species in two genera.
Dolichognatha is a genus of tropical and subtropical long-jawed orb-weavers that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1869. Originally placed with the Archaeidae, it was transferred to the Araneidae in 1967, and to the Tetragnathidae in 1981.
Merizocera brincki, is a species of spider of the family Psilodercidae. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Merizocera oryzae, is a species of spider of the family Psilodercidae. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Psiloderces is a genus of six eyed spiders in the family Psilodercidae, first described by Eugène Simon in 1892
Speocera is a genus of six eyed spiders in the family Ochyroceratidae, containing fifty one species.
Brignoliella is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Tetrablemmidae that was first described by W. A. Shear in 1978.
Gamasomorpha is a genus of goblin spiders in the family Oonopidae, containing sixty three accepted species.
Leclercera is a genus of spiders in the family Psilodercidae found in southeast Asia, including Thailand, Nepal, and the Philippines. It was first described in 1995 by Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold, who named it after a fellow collector of Asian spiders. She originally placed under Ochyroceratidae, but it was later moved it to Psilodercidae. It is named for Philippe Leclerc, a collector of spiders in southeast Asia.
Psilodercidae is a family of spiders first described as a subfamily of Ochyroceratidae by Machado in 1951 and raised to family rank by J. Wunderlich in 2008. These spiders can be distinguished by the "segestriid positioning" of their six eyes, the absence of leg bristles, strong apical bristles on the cymbium, and several pairs of spermathecae in females.
