''Nops'' is a genus of medium-sized caponiid spider native to South America, Central America, and the Caribbean islands. The genus currently counts 27 extant species plus one fossil in Dominican amber, but probably the real number of extant species is greater.〔Sánchez-Ruiz, A. (2004) Current taxonomic status of the family Caponiidae (Arachnida, Araneae) in Cuba with the description of two new species. Revista Ibérica de Aracnología 9: 95-102. ()〕 ''Nops'' have a great richness on the Caribbean islands (14 species). Even species of Central America (4) and South America (15) are located in high proportion toward the area of the Caribbean Sea. Most species of South America are known only from the coast of Colombia and Venezuela, including the islands of Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire and Trinidad.〔Platnick, N. I.
