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(WSC 15.0) did not accept Guy's conclusions; the changes by Guy, 1966 are noted (except where more recent work has superseded them); Guy, 1969 is merely a literature compilation that reflects those changes and is not cited separately; several genera of Lycosidae have been found not to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:

Dalmasicosa Roewer, 1960 = Anoteropsis L. Koch, 1878 (Vink, 2002: 19)

Gen. Anoteropsis L. Koch, 1878 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01594

N.B.: transferred from the Pisauridae to the Lycosidae by Forster, 1979: 11 and McKay, in Davies, 1985: 73; considered a senior synonym of Dalmasicosa Roewer, 1960d: 730 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01607] (type Lycosa arenaria Urquhart, 1891) by Vink, 2002: 19, contra Guy, 1966: 63, who placed Dalmasicosa as a junior synonym of Geolycosa Montgomery, 1904.

Transferred to other genera:

Anoteropsis flavovittata Simon, 1880 -- see Caledomedes

Anoteropsis longipes L. Koch, 1878 -- see Mainosa
