About 47+ species

Scolytoplatypus is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Curculionidae. The genus contains about 47 to 50 species worldwide. In Asia, 29 species known, 11 or 12 are known in African continent and 7 species in Madagascar. [1] [2]

Males and females are strongly dimorphic. Male frons distinctly concave as opposed to the convex female frons. Asian species can be easily separated from African counterparts by having sexually dimorphic antennae.

Acronymolpus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is endemic to New Caledonia. There are two species placed in the genus, both of which are sexually dimorphic; the females are large and reddish, and the males are small and black. A member of the tribe Eumolpini, Acronymolpus is distinguished from other members of the tribe in New Caledonia by its enlarged metacoxae, which occupy most of the first abdominal ventrite and nearly reach its posterior margin.

Muruta is a small genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders named after the Murut people. It was erected in 2018 for two species transferred from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study of Pholcidae. They are average size for cellar spiders with relatively long legs, the first legs averaging 35 to 40 millimetres long. Males can be distinguished from other species by hairless, flat sclerites on their chelicerae, and females can be distinguished by three-layered telescopic tubes in their genital structure. As of April 2022 it contains only two species, both native to northern Borneo: M. bario and M. tambunan.

Paiwana is a small genus of east Asian cellar spiders named after the Paiwan people. The genus was erected in 2018 for two species transferred from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study of Pholcidae. Males are distinguished by unique sclerotized modifications to the chelicerae, and females by the unique triangular epigynum shape. As of April 2022 it contains only two species, both native to Taiwan: P. chengpoi and P. pingtung.

<i>Phintelloides</i> Genus of jumping spiders

Phintelloides is a genus of Asian jumping spiders erected by N. Kanesharatnam and Benjamin in 2019 after a molecular phylogenetic study of similar Asian Salticidae species. The single most likely cladogram shows that Phintelloides is sister to Phintella, with Proszynskia sister to both:
