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:

Eboria Falconer, 1910 = Semljicola Strand, 1906 (Eskov & Marusik, 1994: 59)

Latithorax Holm, 1943 = Semljicola Strand, 1906 (Saaristo & Eskov, 1996: 48, contra Wunderlich, 1995e: 501)

N.B.: considered a senior synonym of Eboria Falconer, 1910: 10 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05249] (type E. caliginosa Falconer, 1910) by Eskov & Marusik, 1994: 59, after Holm, 1973: 82, contra Crawford, 1988: 14, and of Latithorax Holm, 1943: 22 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05250] (type Sintula fausta O.
