Toschia is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Lodovico di Caporiacco in 1949. [2]
As of June 2019 [update] it contains ten species, found in Central Africa, East Africa, China, and South Africa: [1]
Linyphiidae is a family of very small spiders comprising 4667 described species in 618 genera worldwide. This makes Linyphiidae the second largest family of spiders after the Salticidae. The family is poorly known; new genera and species are still being discovered throughout the world. The newest such genus is Yuelushannus from China, formally described in May 2020. Because of the difficulty in identifying such tiny spiders, there are regular changes in taxonomy as species are combined or divided.
Stenaelurillus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1886. Most species live in Africa, with some species found in Asia, including China. All species have two white longitudinal stripes on the carapace, and both sexes show strong bristles around the eyes. The name is a combination of the Greek sten- "narrow" and the salticid genus Aelurillus.
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.
Lepthyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1866.
Afroneta is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Å. Holm in 1968.
Ceratinopsis is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by James Henry Emerton in 1882.
Araeoncus is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884. They closely resemble members of Diplocephalus; both genera have a uniquely shaped of the cephalothorax and a species-specific modification of the tibial apophysis of the pedipalp.
Bursellia is a genus of African dwarf spiders that was first described by Å. Holm in 1962.
Callitrichia is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by L. Fage in 1936.
Holmelgonia is a genus of African dwarf spiders that was first described by R. Jocqué & N. Scharff in 2007.
Mecynidis is a genus of African dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1894. Originally placed with the tangle-web spiders, it was moved to the Linyphiidae in 1964.
Metaleptyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by G. H. Locket in 1968.
Microcyba is a genus of African dwarf spiders that was first described by Å. Holm in 1962.
Pelecopsis is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1864.
Diores is a genus of spiders in the family Zodariidae.
