Tricalamus is a genus of crevice weavers that was first described by J. F. Wang in 1987. [2]
As of March 2022 [update] it contains 16 species: [1]
The Agelenidae are a large family of spiders in the suborder Araneomorphae. Well-known examples include the common "grass spiders" of the genus Agelenopsis. Nearly all Agelenidae are harmless to humans, but the bite of the hobo spider may be medically significant, and some evidence suggests it might cause necrotic lesions, but the matter remains subject to debate. The most widely accepted common name for members of the family is funnel weaver.
Pancorius is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1902. They are similar to Hyllus.
Ptocasius is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1885.
Synagelides is a genus of Asian jumping spiders that was first described by W. Bösenberg & Embrik Strand in 1906. This genus and Agorius are separated as a genus group, sometimes called subfamily Agoriinae, but more recently downranked to tribe Agoriini of the Salticoida clade in subfamily Salticinae.
Macrothele is a genus of mygalomorph spiders in the family Macrothelidae, and was first described by A. Ausserer in 1871. It is the only genus in the family Macrothelidae, and most species occur in Asia, from India to Japan, and Java, with five found in Africa, and two in Europe. The name is derived from Ancient Greek μακρός ("makro-"), meaning "big", and θηλή ("thele"), referring to the spinnerets.
Tonsilla is a genus of East Asian funnel weavers first described by J. F. Wang & C. M. Yin in 1992.
The Jiufotang Formation is an Early Cretaceous geological formation in Chaoyang, Liaoning which has yielded fossils of feathered dinosaurs, primitive birds, pterosaurs, and other organisms. It is a member of the Jehol group. The exact age of the Jiufotang has been debated for years, with estimates ranging from the Late Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous. New uranium-lead dates reveal the formation is deposited in the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous. Fossils of Microraptor and Jeholornis are from the Jiufotang.
Sinopoda is a genus of Asian huntsman spiders that was first described by Peter Jäger in 1999.
Coelotes is a genus of funnel weavers first described by John Blackwall in 1841. A large number of species are found throughout Europe and Asia.
Plebs is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by M. M. Joseph & V. W. Framenau in 2012. Though many of its species have been moved around, a 2012 taxonomic revision suggested that these spiders comprise a monophyletic genus of closely related spiders that evolved in Australia and, through subsequent movements, spread into parts of Asia and Pacific islands.
Hahnia is a genus of dwarf sheet spiders that was first described by C. L. Koch in 1841.
Himalcoelotes is a genus of Asian funnel weavers first described by X. P. Wang in 2002. They are mostly found in China and Bhutan.
Lineacoelotes is a genus of East Asian funnel weavers first described by X. Xu, S. Q. Li & X. P. Wang in 2008.
Tamgrinia is a genus of Asian funnel weavers first described by Pekka T. Lehtinen in 1967.
Euochin is a genus of east Asian jumping spiders first described by Jerzy Prószyński in 2018. The genus was split off from Euophrys. Prószyński placed the genus in his informal group "euophrydeae" within the "euophryines", the latter being equivalent to the tribe Euophryini, which is part of the subfamily Salticinae.
Zhezhoulinyphia is a genus of east Asian sheet weavers. It was first described by M. Irfan, G. C. Zhou and X. J. Peng in 2019, and it has only been found in China. As of December 2021 it contains only three species: Z. caperata, Z. denticulata, and Z. yadongensis.
Tibetima is a small genus of east Asian palp-footed spiders. It was first described by Y. J. Lin and S. Q. Li in 2020, and it has only been found in China. As of March 2022 it contains only two species: T. char and T. gyirongensis.
