Argyronetidae Thorell, 1869

Family | ACCEPTED

N.B.: the family is separated from the Dictynidae and re-definded by Montana et al., 2025: 9 to include 12 genera, Argyroneta probably represents an own subfamily; Argyronetidae were seperated before (Ono, 2009a: 169, Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii, with the single genus Argyroneta), but this was not accepted.

Gen. Argyroneta Latreille, 1804 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:03376

type Araneus aquaticus Clerck, 1757; gender feminine

N.B.: transferred from the Agelenidae to the Cybaeidae (sub Agelenidae: Cybaeinae) by Grothendieck & Kraus, 1994: 272, to the Dictynidae by Wheeler et al., 2017: 607 and to the Argyronetidae by Montana et al., 2025: 9, 43.
