Namaquarachne is a genus of South African araneomorph spiders in the family Phyxelididae, and was first described by C. E. Griswold in 1990. [2]
As of June 2019 [update] it contains five species, found only in South Africa: [1]
Migidae, also known as tree trapdoor spiders, is a family of spiders with about 100 species in eleven genera. They are small to large spiders with little to no hair and build burrows with a trapdoor. Some species live in tree fern stems. They have a Gondwanan distribution, found almost exclusively on the Southern Hemisphere, occurring in South America, Africa, Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia.
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.
Phyxelididae is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Pekka T. Lehtinen in 1967 as a subfamily of Amaurobiidae, and later elevated to family status as a sister group of Titanoecidae.
Cyatholipidae is a family of spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1894. Most live in moist montane forest, though several species, including Scharffia rossi, live in dry savannah regions. They occur in Africa, including Madagascar, New Zealand and Australia, and one species in Jamaica. Most members of this family hang beneath sheet webs. Fossil species occur in the Eocene aged Bitterfield and Baltic Ambers, suggesting a wider geographic distribution in the past.
Penestomus is a genus of African araneomorph spiders in the family Penestomidae, and was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1902. The genus was formerly included in the family Eresidae, but was elevated to its own family in 2010. It is now considered closer to Zodariidae.
Ilisoa is a genus of African araneomorph spiders in the family Cyatholipidae, and was first described by C. E. Griswold in 1987. As of April 2019 it contains only three species, all found in South Africa: I. conjugalis, I. hawequas, and I. knysna.
Isicabu is a genus of African araneomorph spiders in the family Cyatholipidae, and was first described by C. E. Griswold in 1987.
Ulwembua is a genus of African araneomorph spiders in the family Cyatholipidae and was first described by C. E. Griswold in 1987.
Afrilobus is a genus of African araneomorph spiders in the family Orsolobidae, and was first described by C. E. Griswold & Norman I. Platnick in 1987. As of June 2019 it contains only three species, found only in Africa and South Africa: A. australis, A. capensis, and A. jocquei.
Azanialobus is a monotypic genus of South African araneomorph spiders in the family Orsolobidae containing the single species, Azanialobus lawrencei. It was first described by C. E. Griswold & Norman I. Platnick in 1987, and is only found in South Africa.
Kulalania is a monotypic genus of Kenyan araneomorph spiders in the family Phyxelididae containing the single species, Kulalania antiqua. It was first described by C. E. Griswold in 1990, and is only found in Kenya.
Lamaika is a monotypic genus of South African araneomorph spiders in the family Phyxelididae containing the single species, Lamaika distincta. It was first described by C. E. Griswold in 1990, and is only found in South Africa.
Phyxelida is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Phyxelididae, and was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1894.
Pongolania is a genus of South African araneomorph spiders in the family Phyxelididae, and was first described by C. E. Griswold in 1990. As of June 2019 it contains only two species, found only in South Africa: P. chrysionaria and P. pongola.
Rahavavy is a genus of Malagasy araneomorph spiders in the family Phyxelididae, and was first described by C. E. Griswold, H. M. Wood & A. D. Carmichael in 2012. As of June 2019 it contains only three species, found only on Madagascar: R. fanivelona, R. ida, and R. malagasyana.
