N.B.: the older name Ctenophoridae Blackwall, 1870a: 401 is not available, as Ctenophora Blackwall, 1870 is preoccupied in Diptera by Meigen, 1803; see also the notes under Heterognatha and Testudinaria (Araneidae); Oarcinae Simon, 1890a: 81 (Gnolus and Oarces) transferred from the Mimitidae to the Araneidae by Dimitrov et al., 2012: Suppl. 1, p. 15; re-transfer to the Mimetidae by Eskov & Marusik, 2023: 340 and Eskov & Marusik, 2024: 52 not accepted here (by majority vote of the WSC boards); the subfamily Gelanorinae Mello-Leitão, 1935b: 327 is regarded as valid by Eskov & Marusik, 2024: 52.
