Summary:The comb-footed spiders (Theridiidae) are commonly found in webs on vegetation. A total of 34 species in 10 genera are known from Turkey. Their general appearance may vary between genera, but they have a relatively small globular opisthosoma and a mostly circular prosoma. Tarsus IV is characteristic, with a tarsal comb consisting of six to ten serrated bristles. These bristles may disappear and are often difficult to recognise. The tarsal comb is absent from some immatures and adult males.
