Heteroonops spinimanus
Heteroonops spinimanus is a small spider in the family Oonopidae (dwarf goblin spiders), first described by Eugène Simon in 1892. The species has a notably broad distribution, having been recorded across the Americas and subsequently introduced to multiple regions worldwide including Europe, Africa, and the Pacific. Its wide geographic spread suggests human-mediated dispersal, though specific transport mechanisms remain undocumented. As a member of Oonopidae, it belongs to one of the most species-rich spider families, characterized by minute body size and simplified eye arrangements.
Tapinesthis inermis
Tapinesthis inermis is a minute spider species in the family Oonopidae (dwarf goblin spiders). It is the sole member of its genus, which was established by Simon in 1914 based on specimens originally described as Oonops inermis in 1882. The species is native to Europe and has been introduced to North America (Canada and USA).
