N.B.: considered a senior synonym of Aviola Simon, 1898a: 275 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05142] (type A. stenura Simon, 1898), Bigois Simon, 1898a: 276 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05143] (type B. myops Simon, 1898) and Nannonymphaeus Rainbow, 1920b: 259 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05148] (type N. pusillus Rainbow, 1920) by Lehtinen, 1967: 210 and of Tawerana Forster, 1970b: 161 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05152] (type T. reinga Forster, 1970) by Brignoli, 1986a: 331; synonymy of Tawerana with Hahnia instead of Alistra (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: ix) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here.
