The genus Vinnius was proposed by Simon in 1902. The species included in it up to now are: Vinnius subfasciatus (C. L. Koch, 1846), Vinnius maculaticeps Simon, 1902, Vinnius uncatus Simon, 1902, Vinnius carinatus Simon, 1902, Vinnius calcarifer Simon, 1902, Vinnius lartiguei Simon, 1903, Vinnius petropolis (MeIlo-Leitão, 1943), Vinnius reticulatus Mello-Leitão, 1943 and Vinnius paranaensis Mello-Leitão, 1947, all from the Neotropical Region. After the examen of the types of all species it was possible to evidence that Vinnius calcarifer Simon, 1902 and Vinnius carinatus Simon, 1902 are not congeneric with Vinnius maculaticeps Simon, 1902, the type-species selected by him for the new proposed genus. Supported by this fact, two new genera are proposed. The genus Arnoliseus, with two species, A. caicarifer (Simon, 1902), a new combination and A. graciosa sp.n. and the genus Frespera also with two species, F. carinata (Simon, 1902), new combination and F. meridionalis sp.n. Vinnius maculaticeps is consideres a junior synonym of Vinnius subfasciatus (C.L.Koch, 1846), Vinnius Iartiguei Simon, 1903 of Vinnius uncatus Simon, 1902 and Vinnius paranaensis Mello-Leitão, 1947 of Vinnius calcarifer. Vinnius reticulatus Mello-Leitão, 1942 is transfered to the genus Chira. Vinnius petropolis is considered a species Inquirenda. After this study the genus Vinnius remains with only four species: Vinnius subfasciatus (C. L. Koch, 1846), Vinnius uncatus Simon, 1902, and the two new ones herein proposed Vinnius buzius sp.n. and Vinnius camacan sp.n. The females of Arnoliseus calcarifer (Simon, 1902) and, F. carinata (Simon, 1902) are described for the first time.
