Oaphantes is a genus of North American dwarf spiders that was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin & Vaine Wilton Ivie in 1943. [1]
As of May 2021 [update] it contains three species: [2]
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.
Linyphiidae is a family of very small spiders comprising 4694 described species in 623 genera worldwide. This makes Linyphiidae the second largest family of spiders after the Salticidae. The family is poorly known; 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. Because of the difficulty in identifying such tiny spiders, there are regular changes in taxonomy as species are combined or divided.
Theridiosoma is a genus of ray spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1879.
Cybaeidae is a family of spiders first described by Nathan Banks in 1892. The diving bell spider or water spider Argyroneta aquatica was previously included in this family, but is now in the family Dictynidae.
Phidippus is a genus in the family Salticidae. Some of the largest jumping spiders inhabit this genus, and many species are characterized by their brilliant, iridescent green chelicerae. Phidippus is distributed almost exclusively in North America, with the exception of two exported species. As of January 2021, there were about 80 described species in the genus. Species previously described in Phidippus which are found in India and Bangladesh do not belong in this genus.
Pimoidae is a small family of araneomorph spiders first described by J. Wunderlich in 1986. It contains 37 species in four genera and is monophyletic. It is closely related to the Linyphiidae, and is sometimes treated as synonymous with that family.
Pimoa is a genus of spiders in the family Pimoidae. Its sister genus is Nanoa.
Ceratinella is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by James Henry Emerton in 1882. They are very similar to both Ceraticelus and Idionella, and the taxonomy of these spiders may change.
Agyneta is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911.
Filistatinella is a genus of North American crevice weavers that was first described by Willis J. Gertsch & Wilton Ivie in 1936. They are 1.5 to 3.5 millimetres long, and have a dark brown abdomen, longer than wide, with a few gray scales.
Titiotus is a genus of American false wolf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1897.
Arcuphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin & Vaine Wilton Ivie in 1943.

Linyphantes is a genus of North American dwarf spiders that was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin & Vaine Wilton Ivie in 1942.
Oreonetides is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Embrik Strand in 1901.
Pityohyphantes, commonly known as hammock spiders, is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1929. The name comes from the Ancient Greek Πίτυς (pitys), meaning "pine", and hyphantes, meaning "weaver".
Tapinocyba is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Drassinella is a genus of North American araneomorph spiders in the family Phrurolithidae, first described by Nathan Banks in 1904.
