  • Filistatinella

    Filistatinella is a genus of crevice weaver spiders (family Filistatidae) first described by Gertsch & Ivie in 1936. The genus contains ten species distributed in the southern United States and Mexico. Members are small spiders, measuring 1.5–3.5 mm in body length. At least one species, F. domestica, has been documented exhibiting specialized cribellar silk-combing and line-adding behaviors during web construction.
