Misionella is a genus of South American crevice weavers that was first described by M. J. Ramírez & C. J. Grismado in 1997.[2] In 2005 a spider fossil found in 15- to 20-million-year-old Miocene amber from the Dominican Republic was described as Misionella didicostae.[3] A second specimen was discussed soon thereafter.[4]

Species

(As of May 2019) it contains five species from Brazil and Argentina :[1]

  • Misionella aikewara Brescovit, Magalhaes & Cizauskas, 2016 – Brazil
  • Misionella carajas Brescovit, Magalhaes & Cizauskas, 2016 – Brazil
  • Misionella jaminawa Grismado & Ramírez, 2000 – Brazil
  • Misionella mendensis (Mello-Leitão, 1920) (type) – Brazil, Argentina
