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.
Achaearanea is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Embrik Strand in 1929.
Theridiosoma is a genus of ray spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1879.
Episinus is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1809.
Chrysso is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1882.
Thwaitesia is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1881.
Chrosiothes is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1894. It is considered a senior synonym of Theridiotis.
Cryptachaea is a genus of spiders in the Theridiidae family.
Dipoena is a genus of tangle-web spiders that was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1869.
Phoroncidia is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by J. O. Westwood in 1835.

Ameridion is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by J. Wunderlich in 1995.
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.
Neopisinus is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by M. A. L. Marques, E. H. Buckup & E. N. L. Rodrigues in 2011.
