Summary:About 195 species of theridiid spiders are known from north of Mexico, about 800 in all the Americas. Among them are our commonest spiders but also numerous rare species.

Similar additions will be made periodically as it becomes necessary to report on new species, describe the other sex of species known from only males or females, record habitat notes of rare species and make corrections.
