Phylloneta is a genus of comb-footed spiders formerly considered a sub-genus of Allotheridion, and raised to genus status in 2008. The type species was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1884 as Theridion pictipes. As of September 2019 it contains three species and two subspecies with a holarctic distribution: P. impressa, P. pictipes, P. sisyphia, P. s. foliifera, and P. s. torandae.

<i>Canalidion</i> Genus of spiders

Canalidion is a monotypic genus of tangle-web spiders containing the single species, Canalidion montanum. The species was first described by James Emerton in 1882 under the name Theridion montanum. J. Wunderlich moved it to its own genus in 2018, because it had more teeth on the anterior margin of the cheliceral furrow, a basal depression of the cymbium, and an embolus positioned dorsally. It has a holarctic distribution.

Jamaitidion is a monotypic genus of comb-footed spiders containing the single species, Jamaitidion jamaicense. The genus was first described by J. Wunderlich in 1995, and is found on the Greater Antilles. The sole species of this genus was described by Herbert Walter Levi in 1959. It was originally placed in Theridion, but was moved to its own genus based on unique features of the epigynum.

Montanidion is a monotypic genus of Malaysian comb-footed spiders containing the single species, Montanidion kuantanense. It was first described by J. Wunderlich in 2011, and is found in Malaysia. The structure of the male pedipalp indicates that it may be related to members of Tamanidion.

<i>Ohlertidion</i> Genus of spiders

Ohlertidion is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by J. Wunderlich in 2008. As of September 2019 it contains three species with a holarctic distribution, including Greenland: O. lundbecki, O. ohlerti, and O. thaleri. A 2019 genetic study proposed to synonymize this genus with Heterotheridion; however, the evidence was based predominantly on COI barcoding, which is a useful tool for separating species, but is less useful for determining higher taxa.

Jörg Wunderlich is a German arachnologist and palaeontologist. He is best known for his study of spiders in amber, describing over 1000 species, 300 genera, 50 tribes/subfamilies and 18 families in over 180 publications. Unlike most other arachnologists Jörg has never held any academic position and has worked as a private individual with no financial support for travel or equipment.
