Tallusia is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Pekka T. Lehtinen & Michael I. Saaristo in 1972. [2]
As of May 2019 [update] , it contains five species, found in Asia: [1]
Ipa is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo in 2007.
Linyphiidae, spiders commonly known as sheet weavers, or money spiders is a family of very small spiders comprising 4706 described species in 620 genera worldwide. This makes Linyphiidae the second largest family of spiders after the Salticidae. The family is poorly understood due to their small body size and wide distribution; new genera and species are still being discovered throughout the world. The newest such genus is Himalafurca from Nepal, formally described in April 2021 by Tanasevitch. Since it is so difficult to identify such tiny spiders, there are regular changes in taxonomy as species are combined or divided.
