Sundalema is a genus of southeast Asian long-legged cave spiders first described by H. F. Zhao, S. Q. Li and A. B. Zhang in 2020. [2]
As of April 2022 [update] it contains four species: [1]
The Agelenidae are a large family of spiders in the suborder Araneomorphae. Well-known examples include the common "grass spiders" of the genus Agelenopsis. Nearly all Agelenidae are harmless to humans, but the bite of the hobo spider may be medically significant, and some evidence suggests it might cause necrotic lesions, but the matter remains subject to debate. The most widely accepted common name for members of the family is funnel weaver.
Pimoidae is a small family of araneomorph spiders first described by J. Wunderlich in 1986. As re-circumscribed in 2021, it is monophyletic, and contained 85 species in two genera. It is closely related to the Linyphiidae, and is sometimes treated as synonymous with that family.
Telemidae, also known as long-legged cave spiders, is a family of small haplogyne spiders. Most are cave dwelling spiders with six eyes, though some do not have any eyes at all. There are about 104 described species in sixteen genera.
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.
Lineacoelotes is a genus of East Asian funnel weavers first described by X. Xu, S. Q. Li & X. P. Wang in 2008.
Pinelema is a genus of Asian long-legged cave spiders that was first described by C. X. Wang & S. Q. Li in 2012.
Karstia is a genus of Asian ray spiders that was first described by H. M. Chen in 2010.
Troglocoelotes is a genus of east Asian funnel weavers. It was first described by B. Li, Z. Zhao and C. T. Zhang in 2019, and it has only been found in China.
Tissahamia is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders named after Wanniyalaeto chief Uru Warige Tissahami. It was erected in 20180 for several species transferred from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study of the Calapnita-Panjange clade of Pholcidae. They have long, thin abdomens that bend upward near the end. They also have six eyes, three on each of two eye stalks.
Guilotes is a genus of east Asian funnel weavers. It was first described by B. Li, Z. Zhao and H. F. Chen in 2018, and it has only been found in Chinese caves. The name is a combination of the Pinyin "Gui" referring to the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region where it was found, and Notiocoelotes, a closely related genus.
Hengconarius is a genus of funnel weavers first described by Zhao & S. Q. Li in 2018.
Kintaqa is a genus of southeast Asian cellar spiders erected in 2018 for five species moved from Pholcus after a molecular phylogenetic study. They are medium sized spiders, distinguished by the unique enlarged shape of fourth segment of pedipalps.
Guhua is a genus of African long-legged cave spiders containing the single species, Guhua kakamegaensis. It was first described by H. F. Zhao & S. Q. Li in 2017, and is only found in Kenya.
Shuqiang Li is a Chinese arachnologist and a professor at the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Li is best known for his work with spiders and has described hundreds of new species and many genera. He is Editor in Chief of the journal Zoological Systematics.
Femorbiona is a genus of Asian sac spiders first described by J. S. Zhang, H. Yu and S. Q. Li in 2021. As of November 2021 it contains only 3 species: F. brachyptera, F. phami, and F. shenzhen.
Hexamatia is a small genus of Asian dwarf sheet spiders first described by F. A. Rivera-Quiroz, B. Petcharad and J. A. Miller in 2020. As of December 2021 it contains only two species: H. seekhaow and H. senaria.
Mekonglema is a genus of Asian long-legged cave spiders first described by H. F. Zhao, S. Q. Li and A. B. Zhang in 2020.
Siamlema is a small genus of southeast Asian long-legged cave spiders. It was first described by H. F. Zhao, S. Q. Li and A. B. Zhang in 2020, and it has only been found in Thailand. As of April 2022 it contains only two species: S. changhai and S. suea.
Zhuanlema is a monotypic genus of southeast Asian long-legged cave spiders containing the single species, Zhuanlema peteri. It was first described by H. F. Zhao, S. Q. Li and A. B. Zhang in 2020, and it has only been found in Laos.
