Type genus: Erigone Audouin, 1826 .

Diagnosis (after Miller 2007): Members of the Erigoninae are distinguished from other linyphiids by the absence of epiandrous gland spigots, by the absence of the tarsal claw in the female pedipalp, the absence of prolateral macrosetae on the femur and a reduced number of setae on the clypeus ( Miller 2007, fig 7, 18).
