N.B.: see note under Agelenidae regarding the placement of Coelotinae; transfer of the former members of Neolanidae (now part of Stiphidiidae) to the Amaurobiidae by Murphy & Roberts, 2015: ix not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here; after Wheeler et al., 2017: 605 Amaurobiidae include Altellopsinae Lehtinen, 1967, Amaurobiinae, Arctobiinae Leech, 1972, Macrobuninae (incl. Chummidae, Malenellinae [transferred from the Anyphaenidae, genus Malenella] and and Tasmarubriinae [transferred from the Amphinectidae, genera Tasmarubrius, Tasmabrochus and Teeatta]) and Ovtchinnikoviinae Marusik, Kovblyuk, & Ponomarev, 2010; Pakeha and Paravoca transferred from the Amaurobiidae to the Cycloctenidae and Bakala, Manjala and Poaka from the Amaurobiidae to the Desidae by Wheeler et al., 2017: 606; Macrobuninae elevated to family by Gorneau et al., 2023: 10; the family is not monophyletic per Kulkarni, Wood & Hormiga, 2023: 515, f. 15-16.
