Menkokia

Menkokia is a genus of spiders in the family Micropholcommatidae. These are very small spiders, typically less than 2mm in length, and are found in Australasia. They are characterized by their diminutive size and unique morphology, particularly their modified spinnerets.

Micropholcommatidae are often found in leaf litter and moss, where they prey on other small invertebrates. Spiders in the genus Menkokia are similarly believed to inhabit these environments, though detailed biological and behavioral information regarding specific species within the genus is limited.

The taxonomy of Menkokia, as with other members of Micropholcommatidae, is subject to ongoing research. New species are still being discovered and described, and phylogenetic relationships are continually being refined through morphological and molecular analysis. The name itself may reflect a specific locality or feature of the spiders, but information regarding the origin and etymology is currently unavailable. Further research is needed to fully understand the diversity, distribution, and natural history of these tiny spiders.
