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.
Anapidae is a family of rather small spiders with 231 described species in 58 genera. It includes the former family Micropholcommatidae as the subfamily Micropholcommatinae, and the former family Holarchaeidae. Most species are less than 2 millimetres (0.079 in) long.
Mecysmaucheniidae is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895. Most genera occur in South America, with two genera endemic to New Zealand.
Araneoidea is a taxon of araneomorph spiders, termed "araneoids", treated as a superfamily. As with many such groups, its circumscription has varied; in particular some families that had at one time moved to the Palpimanoidea have more recently been restored to Araneoidea. A 2014 treatment includes 18 families, with the araneoids making up about 26% of the total number of known spider species; a 2016 treatment includes essentially the same taxa, but now divided into 17 families.
Runga is a genus of Polynesian araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae that was first described by Raymond Robert Forster in 1990.
Caponiidae is a family of ecribellate haplogyne spiders that are unusual in a number of ways. They differ from other spiders in lacking book lungs and having the posterior median spinnerets anteriorly displaced to form a transverse row with the anterior lateral spinnerets. Most species have only two eyes, which is also unusual among spiders. A few species of Caponiidae variously have four, six or eight eyes. In some species the number of eyes will increase when the spiderling changes its skin as it grows towards adulthood.
Minanapis is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Anapidae, first described by Norman I. Platnick & Raymond Robert Forster in 1989.
Cepheia is a monotypic genus of European araneomorph spiders in the family Synaphridae containing the single species, Cepheia longiseta. It was first described as Theonoe longiseta in 1881, and was moved to its own genus in 1894. Originally placed with the tangle-web spiders, it was moved several times before settling in the Synaphridae in 2003. Paolo Brignoli noted that it is an unidentifiable theridiid.
Calcarsynotaxus is a genus of Australian araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae, and was first described by J. Wunderlich in 1995. As of September 2019 it contains two species, found in Queensland and Western Australia: C. benrobertsi and C. longipes.
Chileotaxus is a monotypic genus of Chilean araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae containing the single species, Chileotaxus sans. It was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 1990, and is found in Chile. Originally placed with the Synotaxidae, it was moved to the Physoglenidae in 1973.
Mangua is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae that first described by Raymond Robert Forster in 1990. Originally placed with the Synotaxidae, it was moved to the Stiphidiidae in 2017.
Meringa is a genus of Polynesian araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae that was first described by Raymond Robert Forster in 1990. Originally placed with the Synotaxidae, it was moved to the Physoglenidae in 2017.
Nomaua is a genus of Polynesian araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae that was first described by Raymond Robert Forster in 1990. Originally placed with the Linyphiidae, it was moved to the Synotaxidae in 1990, and is now considered a senior synonym of Wairua.
Pahora is a genus of Polynesian araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae that was first described by Raymond Robert Forster in 1990. Originally placed with the Synotaxidae, it was moved to the Physoglenidae in 2017.
Pahoroides is a genus of Polynesian araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae that was first described by Raymond Robert Forster in 1990.
Paratupua is a monotypic genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae found in Victoria, Australia. It contains the single species, Paratupua grayi. Though it's sometimes misspelled Paratupa, the correct spelling is "Paratupua".
Synotaxus is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Synotaxidae that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1895. Originally placed with the tangle web spiders, it was moved to the Synotaxidae in 2017.
Zeatupua is a monotypic genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae containing the single species, Zeatupua forsteri. It was first described by Fitzgerald & Sirvid in 2009, and is found in New Zealand. Originally placed with the Synotaxidae, it was moved to the Physoglenidae in 2017.
Physoglenidae is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Alexander Petrunkevitch in 1928 as a subfamily of Pholcidae. It was later moved to Synotaxidae until a study in 2016 showed that they formed a distinct clade.
Tupua is a genus of Tasmanian araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae that was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 1990.
