Eskovia is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Y. M. Marusik & Michael I. Saaristo in 1999.[2] (As of May 2019) it contains only two species: E. exarmata and E. mongolica.[1]
The male carapace in both members of this genus has a distinct shape, appearing roughly trapezoidal in profile, especially in E. exarmata.[2][3]
