4, see text Helsdingenia is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & A. V. Tanasevitch in 2003.

[3] They are usually pale colored spiders that grow up to 2.45 millimetres (0.096 in) long.

Males are smaller than females, but females are distinguishable by their finger-like extensions in epigyne.

[3] There are four pairs of dark spots in an abdominal pattern that are connected to each other, creating two parallel stripes.

As of May 2019[update] it contains four species, found in Cameroon, Comoros, Indonesia, on Madagascar, Nepal, Nigeria, and Sri Lanka:[1]
