Molione is a genus of Asian comb-footed spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1893. [2]
As of May 2020 [update] it contains six species, all found in Asia: [1]
Theridiidae, also known as the tangle-web spiders, cobweb spiders and comb-footed spiders, is a large family of araneomorph spiders first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833. This diverse, globally distributed family includes over 3,000 species in 124 genera, and is the most common arthropod found in human dwellings throughout the world.
Myrmarachne is a genus of ant-mimicking jumping spiders that was first described by W. S. MacLeay in 1839. They are commonly called ant-mimicking spiders, but they are not the only spiders that have this attribute. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek μύρμηξ, meaning "ant", and ἀράχνη, meaning "spider".
Agorius is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae. The genera Agorius and Synagelides are separated as a genus group, sometimes called subfamily Agoriinae but more recently downranked to tribe Agoriini of the Salticoida clade in subfamily Salticinae.
Bathippus is a genus of jumping spiders.
Charippus is a genus of spiders in the jumping spider family, Salticidae.
Gelotia is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1890.
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.
Episinus is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1809.
Heteropoda is a genus of spiders in the family Sparassidae, the huntsman spiders. They are mainly distributed in tropical Asia and Australia, while at least one species, H. venatoria, has a cosmopolitan distribution, and H. variegata occurs in the Mediterranean.
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.
Colopea is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the Stenochilidae family, and was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1893.
Psechrus is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Psechridae, and was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1878.
Miagrammopes is a genus of cribellate orb weavers first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1870. These spiders have a unique shape and only four of their original eight eyes. They spin a single line of web, actively watching and jerking the line to catch their prey.
Janula is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Embrik Strand in 1932. It is a senior synonym of Monetoculus.
Nasoona is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by G. H. Locket in 1982.
Parabathippus is a genus of Southeast Asian jumping spiders that was first described by J. X. Zhang & Wayne Paul Maddison in 2012.
Angaeus is a genus of Asian crab spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1881. It is considered a senior synonym of Paraborboropactus.
Bowie is a genus of Ctenidae that was described by Peter Jäger in 2022. The genus was named after the English singer-songwriter and actor David Bowie and currently encompasses 107 species, 55 of which were named after elements from David Bowie's musical catalogue.
