Phylloneta is a genus of comb-footed spiders formerly considered a sub-genus of Allotheridion,[2] and raised to genus status in 2008.[3] The type species was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1884 as Theridion pictipes.[4] As of September 2019 it contains three species and two subspecies with a holarctic distribution: P. impressa, P. pictipes, P. sisyphia, P. s. foliifera, and P. s. torandae.[1]
