Walckenaeria bifida
Walckenaeria bifida is a species of dwarf spider in the family Linyphiidae, described by Millidge in 1983. It belongs to a genus of small sheet-web weaving spiders distributed primarily in the Northern Hemisphere. The species epithet 'bifida' refers to a cleft or divided structure, likely describing a morphological feature of this spider. As with many Linyphiidae, it is a small-bodied spider that constructs sheet webs for prey capture.
Walckenaeria palustris
Walckenaeria palustris is a species of dwarf spider in the family Linyphiidae, described by Millidge in 1983. The specific epithet 'palustris' (Latin for 'of the marsh') suggests association with wetland or marshy habitats. Like other members of the genus Walckenaeria, it is a small-bodied spider with characteristic genitalic structures used for species identification. The species has been recorded in Canada based on available distribution data.
