Theonina is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1929. [2]
As of August 2021 [update] it contains five species. [1]
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.
Eresus, also called ladybird spiders, is a genus of velvet spiders that was first described by Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1805. Members of the genus formerly called Eresus cinnaberinus or Eresus niger are now placed in one of three species: Eresus kollari, Eresus sandaliatus and Eresus moravicus.
Zodarion is a genus of ant-eating spiders from the family Zodariidae. 169 species from Eurasia, North Africa and North America have been described as of November 2022.
Euophrys is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1834. The small black E. omnisuperstes lives on Mount Everest at elevations up to 6,700 meters, possibly making it the most elevated animal in the world.
Icius is a genus of jumping spiders described by Eugène Simon in 1876, belonging to the Order Araneae, Family Salticidae.
Acartauchenius is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Ajmonia is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae, and was first described by Lodovico di Caporiacco in 1934.
Lathys is a genus of cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Dictynidae, and was first described by Eugène Simon in 1884. It is a replacement name for "Lethia" Menge, 1869 because that name was already in use as a synonym for a genus of moths.
Nomisia is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by R. de Dalmas in 1921.
Pterotricha is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Władysław Kulczyński in 1903.
Centromerus is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by David B. Hirst in 1886.
Mecopisthes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1926.
Palliduphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 2001.
Pelecopsis is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1864.
Trichoncus is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Pseudomogrus is a genus of jumping spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1937.
