Tasmarubrius is a genus of Australian tangled nest spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 1998. [2]
As of April 2019 [update] it contains five species: [1]
Desidae is a family of spiders, some of which are known as intertidal spiders. The family is named for the genus Desis, members of which live in a very unusual location — between the tides. The family has been reevaluated in recent years and now includes inland genera and species as well, such as Badumna and Phryganoporus. In 2017, the family Amphinectidae was merged into Desidae. The family Toxopidae has been separated off. Those intertidal spiders that are truly marine commonly live in barnacle shells, which they seal up with silk; this allows them to maintain an air bubble during high tide. They emerge at night to feed on various small arthropods that live in the intertidal zone.
Amaurobiidae is a family of three-clawed cribellate or ecribellate spiders found in crevices and hollows or under stones where they build retreats, and are often collected in pitfall traps. Unlidded burrows are sometimes quite obvious in crusty, loamy soil. They are difficult to distinguish from related spiders in other families, especially Agelenidae, Desidae and Amphinectidae. Their intra- and interfamilial relationships are contentious. According to the World Spider Catalog, 2019, the family Amaurobiidae includes about 275 species in 49 genera.
Malkaridae is a small family of araneomorph spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 1980. In 2017, the family Pararchaeidae was brought into synonymy with Malkaridae.
Keera is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders containing the single species, Keera longipalpis. It was first described by V. T. Davies in 1998, and has only been found in Australia.
Stiphidion is a genus of South Pacific sheetweb spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1902. Originally placed with the Psechridae, it was moved to the Stiphidiinae in 1967. It is considered a senior synonym of Amarara.
Dardurus is a genus of Australian tangled nest spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 1976.
Midgee is a genus of Australian araneomorph spiders in the family Toxopidae, first described by V. T. Davies in 1995.
Buyina is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 1998. As of April 2019 it contains only two species.
Cunnawarra is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 1998. As of April 2019 it contains only two species.
Jalkaraburra is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders containing the single species, Jalkaraburra alta. It was first described by V. T. Davies in 1998, and has only been found in Australia.
Penaoola is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 1998. As of April 2019 it contains only two species.
Quemusia is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 1998.
Tanganoides is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 2005.
Tasmabrochus is a genus of Australian tangled nest spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 2002. As of April 2019 it contains only three species.
Teeatta is a genus of Australian tangled nest spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 2005. As of April 2019 it contains only three species.
Barahna is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders that was first described by V. T. Davies in 2003. The name is derived from baran-barahn, the Bundjalung word for "spider". Originally placed with the Stiphidiidae, it was moved to the intertidal spiders after the results of a 2017 genetic study.
Carbinea is a genus of Australian sheetweb spiders that was first described by V. T. Davies in 1999.
Magua is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders containing the single species, Magua wiangaree. It was first described by V. T. Davies in 1998, and has only been found in Australia.
Toxopidae is a small family of araneomorph spiders, first described in 1940. For many years it was sunk into Desidae as a subfamily, although doubts were expressed as to whether this was correct. A large-scale molecular phylogenetic study in 2016 led to the family being revived.
