Neodrassex is a genus of South American ground spiders that was first described by R. Ott in 2012. [2]
As of May 2019 [update] it contains five species: [1]
Phoneutria is a genus of venomous spiders in the family Ctenidae of potential medical significance to humans. They are mainly found in northern South America, with one species in Central America. Members of the genus are commonly referred to as Brazilian wandering spiders. Other English names include armed spiders and banana spiders.
Ground spiders comprise Gnaphosidae, the seventh largest spider family with nearly 2,000 described species in over 100 genera distributed worldwide. There are 105 species known to central Europe, and common genera include Gnaphosa, Drassodes, Micaria, Cesonia, Zelotes and many others. They are closely related to Clubionidae. At present, no ground spiders are known to be seriously venomous to humans.
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.
Theridiosoma is a genus of ray spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1879.
Microstigmatidae is a small family of spiders with about 25 described species in eight genera. They are small ground-dwelling and free-living spiders that make little use of silk.
Nemesiidae, also known as funnel-web trapdoor spiders, is a family of mygalomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1889, and raised to family status in 1985. Before becoming its own family, it was considered part of "Dipluridae". Fossils have been found dating this family back to the Lower Cretaceous.
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.
Apopyllus is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick & M. U. Shadab in 1984.
Losdolobus is a genus of six-eyed spiders found in Brazil belonging to the family Orsolobidae.
Predatoroonops is a genus of goblin spiders endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The genus is characterized by the extremely modified male chelicerae and long pairs of ventral spines. It is the first fully revised endemic Brazilian genus of spiders, uncovered in 2012 after two and a half years of research at São Paulo's Instituto Butantan.
Larinia is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1874.
Eurymorion is a genus of South American dwarf spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 1993.
Labicymbium is a genus of South American dwarf spiders that was first described by Alfred Frank Millidge in 1991.
Stenoterommata is a genus of South American araneomorph spiders in the family Pycnothelidae. It was first described by E. L. Holmberg in 1881. Originally placed withe the Ctenizidae, it was transferred to the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985, then to the Pycnothelidae in 2020. It is a senior synonym of Ctenochelus.
Arauchemus is a genus of South American ground spiders that was first described by R. Ott & Antônio Brescovit in 2012. As of May 2019 it contains only two species, both found in Brazil: A. graudo and A. miudo.
Latonigena is a genus of South American ground spiders that was first described by Eugène Simon in 1893.
Basibulbus is a genus of Chilean araneomorph spiders in the family Orsolobidae, and was first described by R. Ott in 2013. As of June 2019 it contains only three species, found only in Chile: B. concepcion, B. granizo, and B. malleco.
