Mysmenidae

Mysmenidae is a spider family with about 180 described species in seventeen genera. The family is one of the least well known of the orb-weaving spiders because of their small size (0.76 to 3 mm (0.03 to 0.12 in)) and cryptic behaviour. These spiders are found in humid habitats such as among leaf litter and in caves.

Species occur in the Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe, New Guinea and several islands.

As of January 2026, this family includes seventeen genera and 188 species:
