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; a new subfamily Procydrelinae Henrard & Jocqué, 2025 is described in Ortiz et al., 2025: 998.
