Turinyphia is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by P. J. van Helsdingen in 1982. [2]
As of June 2019 [update] it contains four species, found in Europe, Japan, China, and Korea: [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.
Pseudeuophrys is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Friedrich Dahl in 1912. The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek "pseudo-" (ψευδής), meaning "false", and the salticid genus Euophrys. It was briefly synonymized with Euophrys, but this decision was later reversed.
Neriene is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by John Blackwall in 1833.
Hylyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884. It is distinct from related genera by a pair of spiral copulatory ducts in the female, which are matched by a turbinated embolus in the male. Both sexes are similar in appearance; the male has no modifications.
Microlinyphia is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by U. Gerhardt in 1928.
Microlinyphia pusilla is a species of spider belonging to the family Linyphiidae. It has a Holarctic distribution.
Lepthyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1866.
Tenuiphantes is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 1996.
Bathyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1866.
Helsdingenia is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 2003. The name is a reference to Dr. P. J van Helsdingen.
Labullinyphia is a monotypic genus of Asian dwarf spiders containing the single species, Labullinyphia tersa. It was first described by P. J. van Helsdingen in 1985, and has only been found in Sri Lanka.
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.
Frontinellina is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by P. J. van Helsdingen in 1969. As of May 2019 it contains only three species, found in Kazakhstan, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, and Turkey: F. dearmata, F. frutetorum, and F. locketi.
Microbathyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by P. J. van Helsdingen in 1985.
Mitrager is a monotypic genus of Southeast Asian dwarf spiders containing the single species, Mitrager noordami. It was first described by P. J. van Helsdingen in 1985, and has only been found in Indonesia.
Mughiphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 1999.
Oreonetides is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Embrik Strand in 1901.
Ostearius is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911. As of May 2019 it contains only two species, both found in Spain, Turkey, Egypt, China, South Africa, and New Zealand: O. melanopygius and O. muticus.
