Spheropistha is a genus of Asian comb-footed spiders that was first described by T. Yaginuma in 1957. [2]
As of June 2020 [update] it contains seven species, found in Taiwan, Japan, and China: [1]
Synagelides is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by W. Bösenberg & Embrik Strand in 1906. This genus and Agorius are separated as a genus group, sometimes called subfamily Agoriinae, but more recently downranked to tribe Agoriini of the Salticoida clade in subfamily Salticinae.
Chrysso is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1882.
Stemmops is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1894.
Parasteatoda is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Allan Frost Archer in 1946. The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek "para-" (παρά), meaning "near" or "next to", and the theridiid genus Steatoda. The Japanese name for this genus is O-himegumo zoku.
Platnickina is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by A. Ö. Koçak & M. Kemal in 2008.
Utivarachna is a genus of Asian araneomorph spiders in the family Trachelidae first described by Kyukichi Kishida in 1940. It was largely ignored until Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold revised the sac and ground spiders in 2001, transferring some species from Trachelas and adding several new ones. The genus was further expanded in 2014 and 2015.
Iwogumoa is a genus of Asian funnel weavers first described by Kyukichi Kishida in 1955.
Hitobia is a genus of Asian ground spiders that was first described by T. Kamura in 1992.
Brunepisinus is a monotypic genus of comb-footed spiders containing the single species, Brunepisinus selirong. It was first described by H. Yoshida & J. K. H. Koh in 2011, and is found on Borneo.
Deelemanella is a monotypic genus of comb-footed spiders containing the single species, Deelemanella borneo. It was first described by H. Yoshida in 2003, and is found on Borneo. This genus was named after the Dutch arachnologist Christa L. Deeleman-Reinhold.
Hentziectypus is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Allan Frost Archer in 1946. Originally placed with Theridion, it was moved to Achaearanea in 1955, and to its own genus in 2008. These spiders most resemble members of Cryptachaea, but are distinguished by a median apophysis that is broadly attached to the tegulum. Spiders of Parasteatoda have a median apophysis attached to the embolus, while those of Achaearanea have a hooked paracymbium on the pedipalps of males.
Nipponidion is a genus of Japanese comb-footed spiders that was first described by H. Yoshida in 2001. As of May 2020 it contains two species, found in Japan: N. okinawense and N. yaeyamense.
Okumaella is a monotypic genus of East Asian comb-footed spiders containing the single species, Okumaella okumae. It was first described by H. Yoshida in 2009, and is found in Japan. This genus is named in honour of the Japanese arachnologist Chiyoko Okuma.
Takayus is a genus of Asian comb-footed spiders that was first described by H. Yoshida in 2001.
Yaginumena is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by H. Yoshida in 2002. As of June 2020 it contains three species, found in Asia and Turkey: Y. castrata, Y. maculosa, and Y. mutilata.
Yunohamella is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by H. Yoshida in 2007.
Pasilobus hupingensis is a species of spider in the orb-weaver spider family Araneidae, found in China and Japan. Females of the genus Pasilobus construct "spanning-thread webs" with only two sectors, making them appear triangular. Widely spaced threads with sticky drops span the three radii of these webs. One end is attached in such a way that it readily breaks free. When a prey item is caught on one of these threads, the line parts at this end and the prey hangs from the web until it is hauled up by the spider.
Aeolocoelotes is a genus of east Asian funnel weavers. It was first described by K. Okumura in 2020, and it has only been found in Japan.
Curticoelotes is a genus of east Asian funnel weavers. It was first described by K. Okumura in 2020, and it has only been found in Japan.
Griseidraconarius is a genus of east Asian funnel weavers. It was first described by K. Okumura in 2020, and it has only been found in Japan. As of November 2021 it contains only three species: G. akakinaensis, G. decolor, and G. iriei.
