Heptathela
Heptathela is a genus of spiders that includes the Kimura spider (Heptathela kimurai). They are trapdoor spiders of the subfamily Heptathelinae, family Liphistiidae. The genus is found in Japan, including Okinawa and the Ryukyu Islands. Spiders of this genus lack venom glands.
Liphistius
Liphistius is a genus of basal trapdoor spiders. It is the only genus in the subfamily Liphistiinae, one of the two subfamilies in the family Liphistiidae, which is the only family in the suborder Mesothelae. Species of Liphistius are found in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia.
Ryuthela
Ryuthela is a spider genus in the subfamily Heptathelinae, family Liphistiidae. This genus, as well as their closest relatives, Heptathela, formed when land masses from present-day Japan separated from the rest of Asia, forming islands in the late Miocene. Speciation of Ryuthela and Heptathela also occurred during this time, because of the further separation of islands, causing allopatric speciation.

Sinothela
Sinothela is a possible genus of spiders in the subfamily Heptathelinae. It was first described in 2003 by Haupt. The type species Heptathela sinensis had been described in 1932 based on a female specimen, but was transferred to the new genus Sinothela based on a male specimen that cannot be confidently matched to the female, so both Sinothela sinensis and Sinothela are considered to be (dubious names).
Luthela
