Family | ACCEPTED

N.B.: considered valid by Platnick, 1985a: 5; placed as a senior synonym of the former gnaphosid subfamily Hemicloeinae (genera Hemicloea and Vectius) by Wunderlich, 1987a: 248 and confirmed by Azevedo, Griswold & Santos, 2018b: 612; relimited and considered a senior synonym of Platoridae by Platnick, 1990a: 38; Australian genera (with exception of Hemicloea, see the note there) transferred to the Trachycosmidae by Azevedo et al., 2022: 11.

Gen. Hemicloea Thorell, 1870 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:02430

N.B.: transferred from the Gnaphosidae to the Trochanteriidae by Azevedo, Griswold & Santos, 2018b: 612; could be closely related to Gnaphosidae, Lamponidae or Trochanteriidae and it is unlikely that it is closely related to the Australian Trachycosmidae, the genus is retained here until more information is available to redefine the limits of Gnaphosidae, Lamponidae and Trochanteriidae (Azevedo et al., 2022: 11).
