| Patu digua Forster & Platnick, 1977 |
Patu digua is by some accounts considered to be the smallest spider in the world, with males reaching a body size of about 0.37 mm. However, there are other spider species of similar size where only the female is known. Because male spiders are usually smaller than females, one can assume that these are even smaller than those of P. digua. It is endemic to Colombia.
