Tapinesthis
Tapinesthis is a monotypic genus of spiders in the family Oonopidae, commonly known as goblin spiders. Its only species is Tapinesthis inermis, the ivy parchment spider. Originally native to Europe, it has been introduced to North America. The spider inhabits a variety of habitats, including forests, dry grasslands, garrigue, and, as a synanthropic species, human dwellings. Previously, it was thought to exhibit two seasonal forms, but research since 2014 has cast doubt on this hypothesis.
