Cicurinidae F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1893

Family |   ACCEPTED
N.B.: new circumscribed (Bromella [transferred from the Dictynidae], Cicurina and Chorizomma [both transferred from the Hahniidae]) and restored family status by Gorneau et al., 2023: 11 (as per Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii, see below), with the authorship of Kishida, 1955: 4 (see also Ono & Ogata, 2018: 619), but the oldest found mention is by F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1893: 158 (sub Cicurinae, see also Bonnet, 1956: 1091); the former transfers of Cicurina and related genera (Cicurininae sensu Lehtinen, 1967) from the Agelenidae to the Dictynidae (Lehtinen, 1967) have been accepted by Cokendolpher, 2004a: 28; Cicurina, as well as Chorizomma Simon, 1872 and Mastigusa Menge, 1854 (which were not explicitely listed by Wheeler et al., 2017) were transferred from the Dictynidae to the Hahniidae by Wheeler et al., 2017: 607; Mastigusa is transferred to the Cybaeidae by Castellucci et al., 2023: 6; the transfers of Chorizomma, Cicurina and Mastigusa (and other genera) to the Cicurinidae by Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii were not sufficiently justified and were not accepted here.
Gen. Chorizomma Simon, 1872 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01971
N.B.: transferred from the Agelenidae (as a subgenus of Cicurina Menge, 1871, after Chamberlin & Ivie, 1942a: 21) to the Dictynidae (Cicurininae) by Lehtinen, 1967: 222; elevated to genus by de Blauwe, 1973a: 16 and Brignoli, 1983c: 518; transfer to the Cicurinidae (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) was not sufficiently justified and not accepted here; transferred to the Hahniidae by Wheeler et al., 2017: 607 [not explicitely, but the type genus of Cicurininae, Cicurina, was transferred] and to the Cicurinidae by Gorneau et al., 2023: 11.

Transferred to other genera:

Chorizomma antillanum Bryant, 1940 -- see Yorima

Chorizomma palaeolithica (Brignoli, 1971) -- see Histopona

Chorizomma pallens Simon, 1895 -- see Yorima
