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.

Gen. Saaristoa Millidge, 1978 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01236

N.B.: synonymy of Saaristoa with Aphileta Hull, 1920, proposed by Breitling, 2019b: 27 and Breitling, 2021: 20, not accepted here as it is based mainly on COI, see FAQ 7).

In synonymy:

Saaristoa higoensis (Saito, 1984) = Saaristoa ebinoensis Oi, 1979 (Ono, Matsuda & Saito, 2009: 323)

Saaristoa icterica (Thorell, 1875, T from Lepthyphantes) = Saaristoa abnormis Blackwall, 1841 (Holm, 1977c: 25, sub Oreonetides)
