Dicymbium
dwarf spiders
Dicymbium is a genus of dwarf spiders in the family Linyphiidae, established by Anton Menge in 1868. The genus name refers to the distinctive male palpal morphology, specifically a cup-shaped projection on the palpal tibia that surrounds the cymbium dorsally. The genus contains eight species and one subspecies distributed across the Northern Hemisphere, including Europe, Asia, and North America.
