Sadies is a genus of African jumping spiders that was first described by F. R. Wanless in 1984. [2]
As of August 2019 [update] it contains five species, found only in Africa: [1]
Theridiidae, also known as the tangle-web spiders, cobweb spiders and comb-footed spiders, is a large family of araneomorph spiders first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833. This diverse, globally distributed family includes over 3,000 species in 124 genera, and is the most common arthropod found in human dwellings throughout the world.
Myrmarachne is a genus of ant-mimicking jumping spiders that was first described by W. S. MacLeay in 1839. They are commonly called ant-mimicking spiders, but they are not the only spiders that have this attribute. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek μύρμηξ, meaning "ant", and ἀράχνη, meaning "spider".
Allococalodes is a genus of Papuan jumping spiders that was first described by F. R. Wanless in 1982. As of June 2019 it contains only three species, found only in Papua New Guinea: A. alticeps, A. cornutus, and A. madidus. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek ἄλλος, meaning "other", and the genus Cocalodes.
Cyrba is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae. The genus was erected by Hippolyte Lucas in 1846.
Goleba is a genus of African jumping spiders that was first described by F. R. Wanless in 1980.
Hasarius is a spider genus of the family Salticidae.
Hispo is a genus of the spider family Salticidae.
Meleon is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by F. R. Wanless in 1984.
Mintonia is a genus of Southeast Asian jumping spiders that was first described by F. R. Wanless in 1984.
Neobrettus is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by F. R. Wanless in 1984. The name is a combination of the prefix "neo-" and the salticid genus Brettus.
Sondra is a genus of Australian jumping spiders that was first described by F. R. Wanless in 1988.
Taraxella is a genus of Southeast Asian jumping spiders that was first described by F. R. Wanless in 1984.
Tauala is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by F. R. Wanless in 1988. The name "Tauala" is an arbitrary combination of letters.
Veissella is a genus of African jumping spiders that was first described by F. R. Wanless in 1984. As of August 2019 it contains two species, found in Africa: V. durbani and V. milloti.
Yaginumanis is a genus of East Asian jumping spiders that was first described by F. R. Wanless in 1984. As of September 2019 it contains three species, found in Japan and China: Y. cheni, Y. sexdentatus, and Y. wanlessi. It is named in honor of Japanese arachnologist Takeo Yaginuma, who described the type species in 1984.
Gelotia is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1890.
The Spartaeinae are a subfamily of the spider family Salticidae. The subfamily was established by Fred R. Wanless in 1984 to include the groups Boetheae, Cocaleae, Lineae, Codeteae and Cyrbeae, which in turn were defined by Eugène Simon.
Fred R. Wanless was a British arachnologist. Active in the field especially in the seventies and eighties of the 20th century, he described several dozen taxa, in particular among the spiders of the Salticidae family. Wanless played a significant role in the British Arachnological Society being its member in 1969–1973, 1974–1976 and 1986–1989, and Meetings Secretary in 1973–1978. From 1973 to 1988 he described 137 new species and 13 new genera.
