Zornella is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by A. R. Jackson in 1932. [3]
As of June 2019 [update] it contains three species: [1]
Linyphiidae, spiders commonly known as sheet weavers, or money spiders is a family of very small spiders comprising 4706 described species in 620 genera worldwide. This makes Linyphiidae the second largest family of spiders after the Salticidae. The family is poorly understood due to their small body size and wide distribution; new genera and species are still being discovered throughout the world. The newest such genus is Himalafurca from Nepal, formally described in April 2021 by Tanasevitch. Since it is so difficult to identify such tiny spiders, there are regular changes in taxonomy as species are combined or divided.
Pimoidae is a small family of araneomorph spiders first described by J. Wunderlich in 1986. As re-circumscribed in 2021, it is monophyletic, and contained 85 species in two genera. It is closely related to the Linyphiidae, and is sometimes treated as synonymous with that family.
Semljicola is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Embrik Strand in 1906.
Agyneta is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911.
Scotinotylus is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Spirembolus is a genus of North American sheet weavers that was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1920.
Caviphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by R. Oi in 1960.
Dactylopisthes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.
Diplocentria is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. E. Hull in 1911.
Glyphesis is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1926.
Islandiana is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by J. Braendegaard in 1932.
Kaestneria is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by H. Wiehle in 1956.
Mecynargus is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by C. Chyzer & Władysław Kulczyński in 1894.
Oreonetides is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Embrik Strand in 1901.
Ouedia is a monotypic genus of dwarf spiders containing the single species, Ouedia rufithorax. It was first described by R. Bosmans & O. Abrous in 1992, and has only been found in Algeria and Tunisia.
Praestigia is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Alfred Frank Millidge in 1954.
Saaristoa is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Alfred Frank Millidge in 1978.
Satilatlas is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1886.
Collinsia is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1913.
Notolinga is a monotypic genus of South American sheet weavers containing the single species, Notolinga fuegiana. It is a replacement name for Linga, already in use by a genus of molluscs. Eugène Simon described the first female in 1902 under the name "Neriene fuegiana", but the first male was not described until 2019. It has only been found in Argentina and on the Falkland Islands.
