Notholepthyphantes is a genus of South American dwarf spiders that was first described by Alfred Frank Millidge in 1985. [2]
As of May 2019 [update] it contains two 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.
Adelonetria is a monotypic genus of South American dwarf spiders containing the single species, Adelonetria dubiosa. It was first described by Alfred Frank Millidge in 1991, and has only been found in Chile.
Agyneta is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911.
