Paratrachelas is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Trachelidae, first described by M. M. Kovblyuk & A. A. Nadolny in 2009. [2]
As of April 2019 [update] it contains five species: [1]
Liocranidae is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1897. They are one of several groups called "sac spiders". The holarctic genus Agroeca is the best-known, but it also includes various genera of more obscure spiders that still lack a diagnosis. Two species in the North American genus Neoanagraphis are found in the extremely dry conditions in the Mojave, Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts. Females live in animal burrows while males wander and are the ones most often caught in pitfall traps.
Tegenaria is a genus of fast-running funnel weavers that occupy much of the Northern Hemisphere except for Japan and Indonesia. It was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804, though many of its species have been moved elsewhere. The majority of these were moved to Eratigena, including the giant house spider and the hobo spider.
Amaurobius is a genus of tangled nest spiders that was first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1837.
Oonops is a genus of spiders mostly found in America, Europe to Russia and East and North Africa.
Pachygnatha is a genus of long-jawed orb-weavers that was first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1823.
Trachelidae is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1897 as a subfamily called "Tracheleae". The Trachelidae family, also known as "ground sac spiders", is within the group of spiders known as the RTA clade, which includes mostly wandering spiders that do not use webs. Spiders in the Trachelidae family are characterized as being 3-10mm long and having a red cephalothorax and a yellow/tan abdomen. They are commonly found indoors. It was placed in the family Clubionidae, then later in Corinnidae when the Clubionidae were split up. The first study that suggested Trachelidae should be considered its own family was done by Deeleman-reinhold in 2001 as part of an analysis of RTA Clade spiders. An analysis by Martín J. Ramírez in 2014 suggested that it was not closely related to other members of the Corinnidae, and was better treated as a separate family. It was then placed in the CTC clade of spiders, or the Claw Tuft Clasper clade, which is a group of spiders that have two tarsal claws with tufts of hair.
Micaria is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Niklas Westring in 1851. They are 1.3 to 6.5 millimetres long.
Ovtchinnikovia is a genus of Asian tangled nest spiders containing the single species, Ovtchinnikovia caucasica. It was first described by Yuri M. Marusik, M. M. Kovblyuk & A. V. Ponomarev in 2010, and has only been found in Russia.
Lathys is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae, and was first described by Eugène Simon in 1884. It is a replacement name for "Lethia" Menge, 1869 because that name was already in use as a synonym for a genus of moths.
Scotolathys is a monotypic genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae containing the single species, Scotolathys simplex. It was first described by Eugène Simon in 1884, and separated from Lathys into its own genus in 2009. Species occur in Algeria, Spain, Macedonia, Greece, Ukraine, and in Israel.
Austrachelas is a genus of African long-jawed ground spiders in the family Gallieniellidae, and was first described by R. F. Lawrence in 1938. Originally placed with the corinnid sac spiders, it was moved to the Gallieniellidae in 2009.
Haplodrassus is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by R. V. Chamberlin in 1922. They range from 3 to 10 millimetres. H. signifer is the most widespread species, found across North America except for Alaska and northern Canada.
Heser is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by T. K. Tuneva in 2004.
Turkozelotes is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by M. M. Kovblyuk in 2009. As of May 2019 it contains only three species: T. mccowani, T. microb, and T. mirandus.
Pulchellodromus is a genus of running crab spiders that was first separated from Philodromus by J. Wunderlich in 2012.
Shaitan is a monotypic genus of ground spiders containing the single species, Shaitan elchini. It was first described by M. M. Kovblyuk, Z. A. Kastrygina & Yuri M. Marusik in 2013, and has only been found in Russia, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan.
Marjanus is a genus of ground spiders containing the single species, Marjanus platnicki. It was first described by M. Chatzaki in 2018, and is only found in Greece and China.
Metatrachelas is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Trachelidae, first described by J. Bosselaers & R. Bosmans in 2010. As of April 2019 it contains only three species.
