Tapinopa is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Niklas Westring in 1851. [2]
As of May 2019 [update] it contains eight species, found in Asia, Europe, and the United States: [1]
Ground spiders comprise Gnaphosidae, the seventh largest spider family with nearly 2,000 described species in over 100 genera distributed worldwide. There are 105 species known to central Europe, and common genera include Gnaphosa, Drassodes, Micaria, Cesonia, Zelotes and many others. They are closely related to Clubionidae. At present, no ground spiders are known to be seriously venomous to humans.
Attulus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1889. The name is a diminutive form of a common prefix for salticid genera, -attus.
Drassodes is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Niklas Westring in 1851. They are brown, gray, and red spiders that live under rocks or bark in mostly dry habitats, and are generally 3.8 to 11.6 millimetres long, but can reach up to 20 millimetres (0.79 in) in length.
Ozyptila is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1864. It has been misspelled as "Oxyptila" in multiple accounts.
Callilepis is a genus of ground spiders first described by Niklas Westring in 1874. Some are found from Mexico to Canada, others from Europe to India. They are most commonly found in dry areas, sandy roads and beaches.
Ceratinella is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by James Henry Emerton in 1882. They are very similar to both Ceraticelus and Idionella, and the taxonomy of these spiders may change.
Walckenaeria is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by John Blackwall in 1833. It is a senior synonym of Paragonatium, as well as Wideria, Cornicularia, Prosopotheca, Tigellinus, and Trachynella.
Agroeca is a genus of liocranid sac spiders that was first described by Niklas Westring in 1861.
Hypsosinga is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Anton Ausserer in 1871. The genus name is derived from the Greek "hypso", meaning "high", referring to the higher clypeus than those of the genus Singa.
Bathyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1866.
Micaria is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Niklas Westring in 1851. They are 1.3 to 6.5 millimetres long.
Apostenus is a genus of liocranid sac spiders that was first described by Niklas Westring in 1851.
Haplodrassus is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by R. V. Chamberlin in 1922. They range from 3 to 10 millimetres. H. signifer is the most widespread species, found across North America except for Alaska and northern Canada.
Entelecara is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Maso is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Micrargus is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Friedrich Dahl in 1886.
Oedothorax is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by A. Förster & Philipp Bertkau in 1883.
Porrhomma is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Troxochrus is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
