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. Tallusia Lehtinen & Saaristo, 1972 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01290

N.B.: accepted as valid by Millidge, 1984b: 237, contra Locket, Millidge & Merrett, 1974: 107, and Millidge, 1977: 43, who considered it a junior synonym of Centromerus Dahl, 1886; also the same synonymy, proposed by Breitling, 2019b: 29, is not accepted here as it is based mainly on COI (see FAQ 7) and a further splitting of the polyphyletic genus Centromerus is expected.
