Zyngoonops is a genus of Central African goblin spiders that was first described by P. L. G. Benoit in 1977. [2]
As of June 2019 [update] it contains ten species, found only in the Central African Republic and the Middle Africa: [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.
Melchisedec is a genus of African goblin spiders first described by W. Fannes in 2010. As of April 2019 it contains only two species.
Norman Ira Platnick was an American biological systematist and arachnologist. At the time of his death, he was a professor emeritus of the Richard Gilder Graduate School and Peter J. Solomon Family Curator Emeritus of the invertebrate zoology department of the American Museum of Natural History. A 1973 Ph.D. recipient at Harvard University, Platnick described over 1,800 species of spiders from around the world, making him the second most prolific spider taxonomist in history, behind only Eugène Simon. Until 2014 he was also the maintainer of the World Spider Catalog, a website formerly hosted by the AMNH which tracks the arachnology literature, and attempts to maintain a comprehensive list, sorted taxonomically, of every species of spider which has been formally described. In 2007 he received the International Society of Arachnology's Bonnet award, named for Pierre Bonnet, in recognition of his work on the catalog.
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.
Anahita is a genus of wandering spiders first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1879.
Triaeris stenaspis is a species of spider in the family Oonopidae, with a pantropical distribution. It is also found in Iran and has been introduced into Europe. A very small spider, with a maximum body length of under 2 mm (0.08 in), it has been shown to prey successfully on springtails. Only females have ever been found, and the species may be parthenogenetic, being able to produce female offspring from unfertilized eggs.
Box kite spiders (Isoxya) is a genus of Afrotropical orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1885. Like the spiny orb-weavers they have six prominent spines on their abdomen. They are small spiders, measuring 3 to 7 millimetres across. They have a sclerotised abdomen which is typical of the Gasteracanthinae.
Sipalolasma is a genus of brushed trapdoor spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1892. It is restricted to South Asia and parts of Africa.
Hahnia is a genus of dwarf sheet spiders that was first described by C. L. Koch in 1841.
Lathrothele is a genus of African spiders in the family Ischnothelidae. It was first described by Pierre L.G. Benoit in 1965.
Anophthalmoonops is a monotypic genus of spiders in the family Oonopidae. It was first described by Benoit in 1976. As of 2023, it contains only one species, Anophthalmoonops thoracotermitis found in Angola.
Antoonops is a genus of spiders in the family Oonopidae. It was first described in 2008 by Fannes & Jocqué
Hypnoonops is a genus of spiders in the family Oonopidae. It was first described in 1977 by Benoit. As of 2017, it contains only one species, Hypnoonops lejeunei found in Congo.
Termitoonops is a genus of spiders in the family Oonopidae. It was first described in 1964 by Benoit. As of 2016, it contains 5 species, all from Congo.
Silhouettella is a genus of spiders in the family Oonopidae. It was first described in 1979 by Benoit. As of 2021, it contains 11 species.
Anyphops is a genus of wall spiders that was first described by P. L. G. Benoit in 1968.
Gastroxya is a genus of African orb-weaver spiders first described by Pierre L.G. Benoit in 1962.
Singafrotypa is a genus of African orb-weaver spiders first described by Pierre L.G. Benoit in 1962.
