Pycnothelidae Chamberlin, 1917

Family | ACCEPTED

N.B.: downgraded to a subfamily of Nemesiidae by Raven, 1985a: 79 and revalidated by Opatova et al., 2020: 701; redefined and transfer of 12 genera from Nemesiidae by Montes de Oca et al., 2022: 11; furthermore Montes de Oca et al., 2022: 14 define five subfamilies: Pycnothelinae, Diplothelopsinae Schiapelli & Gerschman, 1967, Pionothelinae Indicatti, Montes de Oca, Opatova, Almeida, Pérez-Miles & Bond, 2022 (new subfamily), Prorachiinae Indicatti, Montes de Oca, Opatova, Almeida, Pérez-Miles, Bond, 2022 (new subfamily) and Pselligminae Mello-Leitão, 1923 (elevated from tribe).

In synonymy:

Chubutia Mello-Leitão, 1940 = Acanthogonatus Karsch, 1880 (Gerschman & Schiapelli, 1970a: 152, sub Tryssothele)

Tryssothele Simon, 1902 = Acanthogonatus Karsch, 1880 (Raven, 1985a: 83)

Gen. Acanthogonatus Karsch, 1880 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:00104

N.B.: transferred from the Barychelidae to the Nemesiidae by Raven, 1985a: 83 and to the Pycnothelidae by Opatova et al., 2020: 701; considered a senior synonym of Tryssothele Simon, 1902h: 7 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05015] (type T. fuegiana Simon, 1902h: 7) by Raven, 1985a: 83; Tryssothele considered a senior synonym of Chubutia Mello-Leitão, 1940b: 3 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05007] (type C. notata Mello-Leitão, 1940) by Gerschman & Schiapelli, 1970a: 152; Acanthogonatus is most likely polyphyletic per Opatova et al., 2020: 701.
