Lycosidae Sundevall, 1833

Family | ACCEPTED

N.B.: according to Brignoli, 1983c: 432, "Guy (1966, 1969) has proposed many synonymies and has downgraded many genera to subgenus rank; as this author based his conclusions more on nomenclature than on the study of material (or even of the original descriptions)", Platnick (WSC 15.0) did not accept Guy's conclusions; the changes by Guy, 1966 are noted (except where more recent work has superseded them); Guy, 1969 is merely a literature compilation that reflects those changes and is not cited separately; several genera of Lycosidae have been found not to be monophyletic (Murphy et al., 2006). Piacentini & Ramírez, 2019: 233-237 confirm ten valid subfamilies of Lycosidae: Venoniinae Lehtinen & Hippa, 1979, Zoicinae Lehtinen & Hippa, 1979 (= Piratinae Zyuzin, 1993), Evippinae Zyuzin, 1985, Sosippinae Dondale, 1986 (= Hygrolycosinae He & Song, 1996), Artoriinae Framenau, 2007, Tricassinae Alderweireldt & Jocqué, 1993 (= Arctosinae He & Song, 1996), Hippasinae Simon, 1898, Allocosinae Dondale, 1986, Pardosinae Simon, 1898 (= Wadicosinae Zyuzin, 1985) and Lycosinae Sundevall, 1833; the family is not monophyletic per Kulkarni, Wood & Hormiga, 2023: 518, f. 17-18.

In synonymy:

Porrima Simon, 1898 = Aglaoctenus Tullgren, 1905 (Capocasale, 1982: 148, preoccupied, sub Porrimosa)

Porrimosa Roewer, 1960 = Aglaoctenus Tullgren, 1905 (Carico, 1993b: 231)

Porrimula Roewer, 1960 = Aglaoctenus Tullgren, 1905 (Capocasale, 1982: 148, sub Porrimosa)

Gen. Aglaoctenus Tullgren, 1905 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01586

N.B.: transferred from the Pisauridae to the Lycosidae by Carico, 1993b: 231; considered a junior synonym of Porrimosa Roewer, 1960d: 1001 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05873] (type Porrima harknessi Chamberlin, 1916) by Carico, 1993b: 231, but Aglaoctenus has priority over that name; Porrimosa was considered a junior synonym of and the earliest available name to replace Porrima Simon, 1898a: 327 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05872] (type Podophthalma diversa O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1877 = Aglaoctenus lagotis (Holmberg, 1876)), preoccupied in Lepidoptera by Grote, 1877 and considered a pisaurid by Lehtinen, 1967: 260, by Capocasale, 1982: 148; Porrimosa was considered a junior synonym of Porrimula Roewer, 1960d: 1005 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05874] (type Porrima callipoda Mello-Leitão, 1934 = Aglaoctenus lagotis (Holmberg, 1876)) by Capocasale, 1982: 148.
