The spider genus "Spintharus" occurs from the northeastern USA to Brazil, with one species found in Pakistan.

It is very similar to the genus "Thwaitesia", and both are similar to "Episinus". Unlike "Argyrodes", they have two setae in place of a colulus.

Specimens of "S. flavidus" are variable in structure. Only some have an elevated eye region or humps on the anterior of the abdomen.

Females of "F. gracilis" are 3.7mm long, males 2.3mm.
