Linyphiidae Blackwall, 1859

Family | ACCEPTED

N.B.: for comments on relationships, see Michalik & Hormiga, 2010: 7; re-synonymization of Pimoidae (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: ix) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here; Sinopimoidae Li & Wunderlich, 2008 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spiderfam:0112] synonymyized with Linyphiidae by Dimitrov et al., 2017: 245; resurrection of Sinopimoidae by Wunderlich, 2020b: 20 is not accepted here, because Dimitrov et al., 2017 was not taken into account; re-elevation of Sinopimoidae to family level by Eskov & Marusik, 2023: 343 not accepted here (by majority vote of the WSC boards); the current status of Sinopimoidae is also maintained for reasons of stability and we wait for a probable confirmation or rejection of this resurrection; other subfamilies are Erigoninae Emerton, 1882: 7 and Mynogleninae Lehtinen, 1967: 250.

In synonymy:

Elaphidion Menge, 1869 = Saloca Simon, 1926 (Roewer, 1942a: 701, by transfer of the type species)

Elaphopus Menge, 1879 = Saloca Simon, 1926 (Roewer, 1942a: 701, 'automatically' with its replaced name Elaphidion)

Gen. Saloca Simon, 1926 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01238

N.B.: Eskov & Marusik, 1994: 54 considered Horcotes niger Wiehle, 1965 to belong here, apparently overlooking the synonymy of that name with Walckenaeria stylifrons by Wunderlich, 1972a: 401; considered a senior synoym of Elaphidion Menge, 1869: 224 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05963] (type E. flagelliferum Menge, 1869) by Roewer, 1942a: 701 (by transfer of the type species); Elaphidion is preoccupied in Coleoptera by Audinet-Serville, 1834 and was replaced by Elaphopus Menge, 1879: "Verzeichniss" = index: 4, 8 (on p. 8 spelled Elaphipus) [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05964]; see also the note at Metapanamomops Millidge, 1977.

Transferred to other genera:

Saloca strandi (Sytshevskaja, 1935) -- see Horcotes

In synonymy:

Saloca pusilla (Tullgren, 1955, T from Araeoncus) = Saloca diceros O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1871 (Holm, 1977c: 23)

Saloca strandi (Kolosváry, 1934) = Saloca diceros O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1871 (Breitling et al., 2016b: 60)
