Miturgidae Simon, 1886

Family | ACCEPTED

N.B.: relimited and considered a senior synonym of the Zoridae F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1893: 132 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spiderfam:0095] by Ramírez, 2014: 341; the Systariinae Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001: 202 (including the genera Palicanus, Systaria, Tamin and Xantharia) were described as a subfamily of Clubionidae (s. lat.) and included provisionally in the Miturgidae by Ramírez et al., 2014: 342; the Xenoctenidae (including the genera Odo, Paravulsor and Xenoctenus) were separated by Wheeler et al., 2017: 609; currently four subfamilies are accepted in Miturgidae (Diaprograptinae Raven, 2009, Miturginae, Systariinae, Zorinae); Katadysidae Thorell, 1869: 43 (type Katadysas Hentz, 1850 = Zora C. L. Koch, 1847) is a forgotten name, which is older than Miturgidae and Zoridae, but both are clearly protected by usage; the family is not monophyletic per Kulkarni, Wood & Hormiga, 2023: 523, f. 20.

In synonymy:

Ctenomma Thorell, 1890 = Simonus Ritsema, 1881 (Lehtinen, 1967: 264, superfluous replacement name)

Ctenophthalmus Simon, 1880 = Simonus Ritsema, 1881 (Ritsema, 1881: 91, preoccupied, replacement name)

Homonym replaced:

Ctenophthalmus Simon, 1880 -- see Simonus Ritsema, 1881 - in Ritsema, 1881

Gen. Simonus Ritsema, 1881 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:02508

N.B.: transferred from the Ctenidae to the Zoridae by Lehtinen, 1967: 264 and the Miturgidae by Ramírez, 2014: 341; replacement name for Ctenophthalmus Simon, 1880i: 173 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05371], preoccupied in Siphonaptera by Kolenati, 1863; Ctenomma Thorell, 1890c: 131 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05372] is a superfluous replacement name (Lehtinen, 1967: 264); Roewer, 1955c: 601 listed Ctenonima Franganillo, 1946 as a corinnine genus (for unknown reasons, as Franganillo's description immediately follows one of a Syrisca species under a "Liocraninae" heading); however, Franganillo did not describe a new genus for the species he described as Ctenonima cubana, and evidently did not intend to do so; his statement (Franganillo, 1935a: 102) that "Dice E. Simon que la única especie del género es de Nueva Caledonia" indicates that Ctenonima is merely a lapsus for Ctenomma, which was listed in Simon's Histoire naturelle as having a single species, from New Caledonia (Franganillo's only illustration for the species, of the eye pattern, shows a ctenid-like arrangement).

Transferred to other genera:

Simonus cubanus (Franganillo, 1946) -- see Odo
