Homann, 1975: 184; see also
Benjamin, 2011: 8 and
Teixeira, Campos & Lise, 2014: 73). Separation of Borboropactidae Wunderlich, 2004 (
Wunderlich, 2004m: 1738,
Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here.
Lehtinen, 2016 splits the family into five families, i.e. Thomisidae s. str., Borboropactidae Wunderlich, 2004, Stephanopidae O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1871, Stiphropidae Simon, 1886 [sub Stiphropodidae; for nomenclatural author and year see
Simon, 1886b: 170] and Bomidae Simon, 1886 [for nomenclatural author and year see
Simon, 1886b: 173]; because of lack of a phylogenetic analysis and partly unclear limitations this splitting is not accepted; the family is not monophyletic per
