Troglohyphantes is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by G. Joseph in 1881.[3] The genus name is a combination of the Ancient Greek τρώγλη (troglo-), meaning "cave (dweller)", and -hyphantes, a common ending for linyphiid genera.

Species[edit]

As of August 2021 it contains 134 species and five subspecies, found in Europe, Africa, Siberia, Georgia, Czechia, and Iran:[1]
