Linyphiidae Blackwall, 1859

Family |   ACCEPTED
N.B.: for comments on relationships, see Michalik & Hormiga, 2010: 7; re-synonymization of Pimoidae (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: ix) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here; Sinopimoidae Li & Wunderlich, 2008 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spiderfam:0112] synonymyized with Linyphiidae by Dimitrov et al., 2017: 245; resurrection of Sinopimoidae by Wunderlich, 2020b: 20 is not accepted here, because Dimitrov et al., 2017 was not taken into account; re-elevation of Sinopimoidae to family level by Eskov & Marusik, 2023: 343 not accepted here (by majority vote of the WSC boards); the current status of Sinopimoidae is also maintained for reasons of stability and we wait for a probable confirmation or rejection of this resurrection; other subfamilies are Erigoninae Emerton, 1882: 7 and Mynogleninae Lehtinen, 1967: 250.

In synonymy:

Millidgefa Özdikmen, 2007 = Lygarina Simon, 1894 (Miller, 2007a: 96, sub Notiothauma)

Notiothauma Millidge, 1991 = Lygarina Simon, 1894 (Miller, 2007a: 96)

Gen. Lygarina Simon, 1894 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01067
N.B.: considered a senior synonym of Notiothauma Millidge, 1991: 125 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01144] (type Gongylidiellum aurantiacum Simon, 1905) by Miller, 2007a: 96; Notiothauma is preoccupied in Mecoptera by MacLachlan, 1877 and was replaced by Millidgefa Özdikmen, 2007: 138 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:03574], but that name is now superfluous.

Transferred to other genera:

Lygarina monticola Simon, 1894 -- see Ceratinopsis
