Uapou is a monotypic genus of South Pacific sheet weaver spiders containing the single species, Uapou maculata. It was first described by Lucien Berland in 1935, [2] and is found on Ua Pou, one of the Marquesas Islands. [1] It was transferred to the family Symphytognathidae by H. W. Levi in 1972, [3] but this was rejected by Brignoli in 1980. [4] The World Spider Catalog places it in the family Linyphiidae. [1]
The genus is named after the island Ua Pou on the Marquesas Islands. The describer, Lucien Berland, named several genera after islands in the Pacific Ocean during the 1930s, including Uahuka and Nukuhiva . The species name is derived from Latin maculata, meaning "spotted". [2]
Ochyroceratidae is a six-eyed spider family, with 165 described species in ten genera. They are common inhabitants of caves and the tropical forest litter of South Africa, the Caribbean, Asia and South America. Considered an ecological counterpart of the Linyphiidae of the northern temperate zone, species are especially diverse in the Indo-Pacific region.
Styposis is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1894. It is a senior synonym of Cyatholipulus.
Anatea is an ant-mimicking genus of South Pacific comb-footed spiders that was first described by Lucien Berland in 1927. As of May 2020 it contains three species, found in Australia and on New Caledonia: A. elongata, A. formicaria, and A. monteithi. Originally placed with the sac spiders, it was moved to the comb-footed spiders in 1967.
Paratheridula is a monotypic genus of comb-footed spiders containing the single species, Paratheridula perniciosa. The sole species was first described in 1886 under the name Theridion perniciosum. The genus was first described by Herbert Walter Levi in 1957, though it has been described under several different names, including Mysmena 4-maculata, Theridion quadrimaculatum, and Theridion arcadicum,
Uahuka is a genus of South Pacific sheet weavers endemic to the Marquesas Islands that was first described by Lucien Berland in 1935. It was transferred to the family Symphytognathidae in 1972, but the transfer was rejected in 1980.
Nukuhiva is a genus of spiders with a single species, Nukuhiva adamsoni, that occurs only on the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia. It is in the wolf spider family, Lycosidae. It has been found on Nuku Hiva and on Ua Huka, a smaller island about 25 km (16 mi) to the east.
Histopona is a genus of funnel weavers first described as a sub-genus of Hadites by Tamerlan Thorell in 1869. It was elevated to genus by Brignoli in 1972.
Platnickina is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by A. Ö. Koçak & M. Kemal in 2008.
Glenognatha is a genus of long-jawed orb-weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1887. It was considerably revised in 2016.

Cepheia is a monotypic genus of European araneomorph spiders in the family Synaphridae containing the single species, Cepheia longiseta. It was first described as Theonoe longiseta in 1881, and was moved to its own genus in 1894. Originally placed with the tangle-web spiders, it was moved several times before settling in the Synaphridae in 2003. Paolo Brignoli noted that it is an unidentifiable theridiid.
Stasinoides is a monotypic genus of Ethiopian huntsman spiders containing the single species, Stasinoides aethiopica. It was first described by Lucien Berland in 1922, and is found in Ethiopia. It has only been recorded twice, and is probably misplaced in this family.
Hubertella is a genus of Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 1989. As of May 2019 it contains only three species, found in Nepal: H. montana, H. orientalis, and H. thankurensis.
Nasoona is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by G. H. Locket in 1982.
Paro simoni is a species of Spanish dwarf spiders. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Paro. The species and genus were first described by Lucien Berland in 1942, and has only been found on the Austral Islands. Originally placed with the Agelenidae, it was moved to the sheet weavers in 1967.

Plato is a genus of ray spider. The American biologist Jonathan A. Coddington named and circumscribed the genus in 1986. It is a Neotropical genus and it is limited to South America. As of 2018, nine species are recognized. They are found in caves and have a distinctive cubic egg sac. The generic name comes from the ancient Greek philosopher Plato.
