Toxopidae Hickman, 1940

Family | ACCEPTED

N.B.: separation of Toxopidae from Desidae (genera Gasparia, Gohia, Hapona, Hulua, Laestrygones, Lamina, Myro, Neomyro, Ommatauxesis, Otagoa and Toxops) by Wheeler et al., 2017: 608-609; for former comments on the status of Toxops and related taxa see Jocqué, 1994b: 283; Toxopidae is divided in two subfamilies (Wheeler et al., 2017: 609): Toxopinae (Hapona, Jamara, Laestrygones, Lamina, Midgee, Toxops and Toxopsoides) and Myroinae (Gasparia, Gohia, Hulua, Neomyro, Myro, Ommatauxesis and Otagoa); Midgeeinae Davies, 1995 (Midgee and Jamara) are transferred from the Amaurobiidae and synonymized with Toxopinae; the family is not monophyletic per Kulkarni, Wood & Hormiga, 2023: 515

In synonymy:

Hina Forster, 1964 = Gasparia Marples, 1956 (Lehtinen, 1967: 235)

Gen. Gasparia Marples, 1956 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01862

N.B.: transfer to the Cicurinidae (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here; transferred from the Desidae to the Toxopidae by Wheeler et al., 2017: 609; considered a senior synonym of Hina Forster, 1964b: 84 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05041] (type Ostearius delli Forster, 1955) by Lehtinen, 1967: 235.
