Holarchaea is a spider genus with only two described species as of September 2016[update], although there may be undescribed species from New Zealand. It is the only genus in the family Holarchaeidae.
They are only up to 1.5 mm in size and shiny black to beige in color. Together with the Uloboridae and possibly the Mesothelae, they are one of three taxa of spiders known to lack venom glands.
Holarchaeid spiders are known only from the forests of Tasmania and New Zealand, where they live in microhabitats with consistently high humidity.
