N.B.: an updated diagnosis is provided by
Burgo et al., 2025: 12; the genus
Cybaeolus Simon, 1884 was transferred from the Agelenidae (Cybaeinae) to the Hahniidae (Cybaeolinae Lehtinen, 1967) by
Lehtinen, 1967: 226 and the Cybaeolinae are considered a junior synonym of Hahniidae by
Burgo et al., 2025: 13; the genera of Cryphoecinae Lehtinen, 1967 (authorship correctly
Simon, 1898a: 250, sub Cryphoeceae; also Cryphoecini
Kishida, 1955: 6 is older) were transferred from the Agelenidae to the Hahniidae by
Lehtinen, 1967, considered a subfamily of Dictynidae by
Wunderlich, 2004j: 1385 and lately transferred to Cybaeidae by
Wheeler et al., 2017: 606; transfers of
Cicurina Menge, 1871 and related genera (Cicurininae sensu Lehtinen, 1967) from the Agelenidae to the Dictynidae (
Lehtinen, 1967) have been accepted by
Cokendolpher, 2004a: 28;
Cicurina, as well as
Chorizomma Simon, 1872 and
Mastigusa Menge, 1854 (which are not explicitely listed by
Wheeler et al., 2017) are transferred from the Dictynidae to the Hahniidae by
Wheeler et al., 2017: 607;
Mastigusa is transferred to the Cybaeidae by
Castellucci et al., 2023: 6; the transfers of
Chorizomma,
Cicurina and
Mastigusa to the Cicurinidae by
Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii were not sufficiently justified and are not accepted here;
Ono & Ogata, 2018: 619 mention the authorship of these subfamilial taxa: Cicurininae
Kishida, 1955: 4, Tetrilini
Kishida, 1955: 5 and Chorizommatini
Kishida, 1955: 6; but the oldest found mention of Cicurininae is by
F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1893: 158 (sub Cicurinae, see also
Bonnet, 1956: 1091); Cicurinidae new circumscribed (
Bromella,
Cicurina and
Chorizomma) and elevated to family by
Gorneau et al., 2023: 11.
