Zealaranea is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by D. J. Court & Raymond Robert Forster in 1988. [2]
As of April 2019 [update] it contains four species, all found in New Zealand: [1]
Periegops is a genus of spiders with six eyes instead of the usual eight. It is the only genus in its family (Periegopidae) and has three described species. It was long considered to be a member of Sicariidae or Segestriidae until Raymond Forster elevated it to the family level in 1995.
Tekella is a genus of South Pacific araneomorph spiders in the family Cyatholipidae, and was first described by A. T. Urquhart in 1894.
Matachia is a genus of South Pacific intertidal spiders that was first described by R. de Dalmas in 1917. Originally placed with the Psechridae, it was moved to the intertidal spiders in 1970.
Colaranea is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by D. J. Court & Raymond Robert Forster in 1988 that are endemic to New Zealand.
Cryptaranea is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders first described by D. J. Court & Raymond Robert Forster in 1988.
Novakiella is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders. Previously monotypic containing the single species, Novakiella trituberculosa found in Australia and New Zealand, a second species was recognised in 2021, Novakiella boletus.
Novaranea is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders first described by D. J. Court and Raymond Robert Forster in 1988. As of April 2019, it contains only two species.
Toxopidae is a small family of araneomorph spiders, first described in 1940. For many years it was sunk into Desidae as a subfamily, although doubts were expressed as to whether this was correct. A large-scale molecular phylogenetic study in 2016 led to the family being revived.
Colaranea verutum is a species of orb-weaver spider that is endemic to New Zealand.

Novakiella trituberculosa is a species of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders, found in Australia and New Zealand.
