Enoplognatha

Enoplognatha is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by P. Pavesi in 1880. They have both a large colulus and a subspherical abdomen. Males usually have enlarged chelicerae. It is considered a senior synonym of Symopagia.

Among the theridiids, they are medium to large sized. E. maricopa, a red-brown spider with a mottled purplish abdomen, has males that reach a length of 3.4 mm, and females that reach 2.9 mm. E. peruviana females can grow to 6.5 mm long, and female E. zapfeae can grow to 9.2 mm.
