Oryphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1932. [2]
As of May 2019 [update] it contains five species: [1]
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.
Halorates is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911.
Tenuiphantes is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 1996.
Agyneta is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911.
Megalepthyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. Wunderlich in 1994.
Abiskoa is a monotypic genus of dwarf spiders containing the single species, Abiskoa abiskoensis. It was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 2000, and has only been found in Europe, East Asia, and China.
Anguliphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 1996.
Araeoncus is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884. They closely resemble members of Diplocephalus; both genera have a uniquely shaped of the cephalothorax and a species-specific modification of the tibial apophysis of the pedipalp.
Archaraeoncus is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by A. V. Tanasevitch in 1987.
Decipiphantes is a monotypic genus of dwarf spiders containing the species Decipiphantes decipiens. It was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 1996, and has only been found in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Russia.
Flagelliphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 1996. As of May 2019 it contains only three species, all found in Russia: F. bergstromi, F. flagellifer, and F. sterneri.
Formiphantes is a monotypic genus of dwarf spiders containing the single species, Formiphantes lephthyphantiformis. It was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 1996.
Gongylidioides is a genus of Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by R. Oi in 1960.
Hilaira is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Improphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 1996.
Mansuphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 1996.
Obscuriphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 2000.
Perro is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by A. V. Tanasevitch in 1992.
Piniphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 1996.
