Hylyphantes Geniculatus
''Hylyphantes'' is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884. It is distinct from related genera by a pair of spiral copulatory ducts in the female, which are matched by a turbinated embolus in the male. Both sexes are similar in appearance; the male has no modifications. Species it contains five species, found in China, Japan, Korea, Laos, Myanmar, Russia, Thailand, and Vietnam: *'' Hylyphantes geniculatus'' Tu & Li, 2003 – China *'' Hylyphantes graminicola'' (Sundevall, 1830) – Europe, Russia (Europe to Far East), China, Korea, Japan, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam *'' Hylyphantes nigritus'' (Simon, 1881) (type) – Europe, Caucasus, Russia (Europe to Far East), China *''Hylyphantes spirellus'' Tu & Li, 2005 – China *''Hylyphantes tanikawai'' Ono & Saito, 2001 – Japan (Ryukyu Is.)

Eugène Simon
Eugène Louis Simon (; 30 April 1848 – 17 November 1924) was a French naturalist who worked particularly on insects and spiders, but also on birds and plants. He is by far the most prolific spider taxonomist in history, describing over 4,000 species. Work on spiders His most significant work was ''Histoire Naturelle des Araignées'' (1892–1903), an encyclopedic treatment of the spider genera of the world. It was published in two volumes of more than 1000 pages each, and the same number of drawings by Simon. Working at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, it took Simon 11 years to complete, while working at the same time on devising a taxonomic scheme that embraced the known taxa. Simon described a total of 4,650 species, and as of 2013 about 3,790 species are still considered valid. The International Society of Arachnology offers a Simon Award recognising lifetime achievement. The Eocene fossil spider species '' Cenotextricella simoni'' was named in his ...
