Varioonops is a genus of goblin spiders that was first described by A. Bolzern & Norman I. Platnick in 2013. [2]
As of June 2019 [update] it contains twenty-three species, found in Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, and Costa Rica: [1]
Oonopidae, also known as goblin spiders, is a family of spiders consisting of over 1,600 described species in about 113 genera worldwide, with total species diversity estimated at 2000 to 2500 species. The type genus of the family is OonopsKeyserling, 1835.
Hibana is a genus of anyphaenid sac spiders first described by Antônio Brescovit in 1991. It is found from the United States to Brazil, including the West Indies. It includes North America's yellow ghost spider, formerly categorized as Aysha velox.
Lygromma is a spider genus of Central and South America. There are species with eight, six and no eyes. The eyeless L. anops is endemic to Galapagos, while the not closely related blind L. gertschi is found only on Jamaica.
Unicorn ("one horn", in Latin) is a genus of goblin spiders from South America, containing seven species that occur predominantly in high elevation, semi-desert regions of Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. Individuals are relatively large for goblin spiders, measuring up to 3.0 mm (0.12 in) in body length. The genus name refers to a characteristic pointed projection between the eyes and jaws of males. In at least one species, broken-off tips of the male pedipalps have been found within the genitalia of females, postulated as a means of sperm competition. Unicorn possesses several traits that suggest it is a relatively "primitive" member of the Oonopidae, and is classified with other similar, soft-bodied goblin spiders in the subfamily Sulsulinae.
Neocteniza is a genus of armored trapdoor spiders that was first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1895. Originally placed with the Actinopodidae, it was moved to the Idiopidae in 1985.
Tridysderina is a genus of Ecuadorian goblin spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick, L. Berniker & A. B. Bonaldo in 2013.
Nops is a genus of medium-sized South American, Central American, and Caribbean spiders in the family Caponiidae, first described by Alexander Macleay in 1839. It has a great richness on the Caribbean islands, and most mainland species are located in high proportion toward the Caribbean coast. It likely has a neotropical distribution, though most species of South America are known only from the coast of Colombia and Venezuela, including the islands of Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire and Trinidad.
Cryptocellus is an arachnid genus in the order Ricinulei, first described by John Westwood in 1874. It is native to the Neotropics.
Anapis is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Anapidae, which consists of small orb weaving spiders all from the Neotropical realm. The genus includes close to thirty species and was first described by Eugène Simon in 1895.
Anapisona is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Anapidae, first described by Willis J. Gertsch in 1941.
Emboonops is a genus of spiders in the family Oonopidae. It was first described in 2015 by Bolzern, Platnick & Berniker. As of 2017, it contains 10 species, all from Mexico.
Hexapopha is a genus of spiders in the family Oonopidae. It was first described in 2014 by Platnick, Berniker & Víquez.
Toloonops is a genus of spiders in the family Oonopidae. It was first described in 2015 by Bolzern, Platnick & Berniker. As of 2017, it contains 7 species.
Trachelas is a genus of araneomorph spiders originally placed with the Trachelidae, and later moved to the Corinnidae.
Synotaxus is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Synotaxidae that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1895. Originally placed with the tangle web spiders, it was moved to the family Synotaxidae in 2017.
Zimiromus is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Nathan Banks in 1914.
Enna is a genus of South American and Central American araneomorph spiders in the family Trechaleidae, first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1897.
Niarchos is a genus of South American goblin spiders first described by Norman I. Platnick & N. Dupérré in 2010.
Cinetomorpha is a genus of goblin spiders first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892. It is a senior synonym of Lucetia, and Yumates.
