Zodariidae Thorell, 1881

Family | ACCEPTED

N.B.: the family name Zodariidae is protected by usage over the earlier name Cryptothelidae L. Koch, 1872a: 238 to keep nomenclatorial stability; separation of Cryptothelidae (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here; Jocqué, 1991a stated the subfamilies Cryptothelinae, Cydrelinae Simon, 1893, Cyriocteinae Jocqué, 1991, Lachesaninae Jocqué, 1991, Storeninae Simon, 1893, Storenomorphinae Simon, 1890 and Zodariinae; synonymy of the Cydrelinae with the Cryptothelinae considered by Ramírez et al., 2014: 392.

In synonymy:

Patiscana Strand, 1934 = Cicynethus Simon, 1910 (Jocqué, 1991a: 102)

Patiscus Simon, 1893 = Cicynethus Simon, 1910 (Jocqué, 1991a: 102, preoccupied)

Gen. Cicynethus Simon, 1910 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:02284

N.B.: considered a senior synonym of Patiscana Strand, 1934: 274 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05760] by Jocqué, 1991a: 102; Patiscana is a replacement name for Patiscus Simon, 1893e: 315 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05759] (type P. peringueyi Simon, 1893), preoccupied in Orthoptera by Stål, 1877.
