Moyosi is a genus of South American dwarf spiders that was first described by J. A. Miller in 2007. [2]
As of May 2019 [update] it contains three species: [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.
Laminacauda is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Alfred Frank Millidge in 1985.
Apobrata is a monotypic genus of Southeast Asian dwarf spiders containing the single species, Apobrata scutila. It was first described by J. A. Miller in 2004, and has only been found in the Philippines.
Asemostera is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1898. Originally placed with the family Agelenidae, it was moved to the family Linyphiidae in 1965.
Caviphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by R. Oi in 1960.
Diechomma is a genus of South American dwarf spiders that was first described by Alfred Frank Millidge in 1991. As of May 2019 it contains only two species, both found in Colombia: D. exiguum and D. pretiosum.
Gigapassus is a monotypic genus of South American dwarf spiders containing the single species, Gigapassus octarine. It was first described by J. A. Miller in 2007, and has only been found in Argentina.
Intecymbium is a monotypic genus of South American dwarf spiders containing the single species, Intecymbium antarcticum. It was first described by J. A. Miller in 2007, and has only been found in Argentina and Chile.
Lygarina is a genus of South American dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1894.
Malkinola is a monotypic genus of South American dwarf spiders containing the single species, Malkinola insulanus. It was first described by J. A. Miller in 2007, and has only been found in Chile.
Neomaso is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Raymond Robert Forster in 1970.
Notiomaso is a genus of South American dwarf spiders that was first described by Nathan Banks in 1914.
Orfeo is a genus of South American dwarf spiders that was first described by J. A. Miller in 2007.
Pseudotyphistes is a genus of South American sheet weavers that was first described by Paolo Marcello Brignoli in 1972.
Psilocymbium is a genus of South American sheet weavers that was first described by Alfred Frank Millidge in 1991.
Smermisia is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1894.
Sphecozone is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1871.
Toltecaria is a monotypic genus of Mexican sheet weavers containing the single species, Toltecaria antricola. It was first described by J. A. Miller in 2007, and is only found in Mexico.
Triplogyna is a genus of South American sheet weavers that was first described by Alfred Frank Millidge in 1991.
Notolinga is a monotypic genus of South American sheet weavers containing the single species, Notolinga fuegiana. It is a replacement name for Linga, already in use by a genus of molluscs. Eugène Simon described the first female in 1902 under the name "Neriene fuegiana", but the first male was not described until 2019. It has only been found in Argentina and on the Falkland Islands.
