Naevius is a genus of South American tangled nest spiders first described by V. D. Roth in 1967. [2]
As of April 2019 [update] it contains four 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.
Corinnidae is a family of araneomorph spiders, sometimes called corinnid sac spiders. The family, like other "clubionoid" families, has a confusing taxonomic history. Once it was a part of the large catch-all taxon Clubionidae, now very much smaller. The original members of the family are apparently similar only in that they have eight eyes arranged in two rows, conical anterior spinnerets that touch and are generally wandering predators that build silken retreats, or sacs, usually on plant terminals, between leaves, under bark or under rocks.
Amaurobiidae is a family of three-clawed cribellate or ecribellate spiders found in crevices and hollows or under stones where they build retreats, and are often collected in pitfall traps. Unlidded burrows are sometimes quite obvious in crusty, loamy soil. They are difficult to distinguish from related spiders in other families, especially Agelenidae, Desidae and Amphinectidae. Their intra- and interfamilial relationships are contentious. According to the World Spider Catalog, 2023, the family Amaurobiidae includes 286 species in 50 genera.
Tenedos is a spider genus of the family Zodariidae. It has around 72 species from Central and South America.
Orsolobidae is a six-eyed spider family with about 180 described species in thirty genera. It was first described by J. A. L. Cooke in 1965, and was raised to family status from "Dysderidae" in 1985.
Antônio Domingos Brescovit is a Brazilian arachnologist. His first name, Antônio may also be spelt António. He develops academic activities at the 'arthropodae laboratorium' at the Butantan Institute, and he is a specialist in Neotropical Arachnida.
Caponiidae is a family of ecribellate haplogyne spiders that are unusual in a number of ways. They differ from other spiders in lacking book lungs and having the posterior median spinnerets anteriorly displaced to form a transverse row with the anterior lateral spinnerets. Most species have only two eyes, which is also unusual among spiders. A few species of Caponiidae variously have four, six or eight eyes. In some species the number of eyes will increase when the spiderling changes its skin as it grows towards adulthood.
Caponina is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Caponiidae, first described by Eugène Simon in 1892.
Attacobius is a genus of South American corinnid sac spiders first described by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1925.
Ecitocobius is a monotypic genus of South American corinnid sac spiders containing the single species, Ecitocobius comissator. It was first described by A. B. Bonaldo & Antônio Brescovit in 1998, and has only been found in Brazil.
Ianduba is a genus of South American corinnid sac spiders first described by A. B. Bonaldo in 1997.
Parachemmis is a genus of corinnid sac spiders first described by Arthur M. Chickering in 1937 as a genus of ground spiders. It was transferred to Liocranidae in 1969, and to Corinnidae in 1994.
Stethorrhagus is a genus of South American corinnid sac spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1896.
Otiothops is a genus of palp-footed spiders that was first described by W. S. MacLeay in 1839.
Strotarchus is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Cheiracanthiidae that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1888. Originally added to the Clubionidae, it was moved to the Miturgidae in 1967, and to the Cheiracanthiidae in 2014. It is considered a senior synonym of Marcellina and Coreidon.
Nopsma is a genus of tropical spiders in the family Caponiidae. It was first described by A. Sánchez-Ruiz, Antônio Domingos Brescovit and A. B. Bonaldo in 2020. It was originally described under the name "Nyetnops juchuy" in 2014. They are found in Central and South America.
Cinetomorpha is a genus of goblin spiders first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892. It is a senior synonym of Lucetia, and Yumates.
