N.B.: the family name Zodariidae is protected by usage over the earlier name Cryptothelidae
L. Koch, 1872a: 238 to keep nomenclatorial stability; separation of Cryptothelidae (
Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here;
Jocqué, 1991a stated the subfamilies Cryptothelinae, Cydrelinae Simon, 1893, Cyriocteinae Jocqué, 1991, Lachesaninae Jocqué, 1991, Storeninae Simon, 1893, Storenomorphinae Simon, 1890 and Zodariinae; synonymy of the Cydrelinae with the Cryptothelinae considered by
Ramírez et al., 2014: 392; a new subfamily Procydrelinae Henrard & Jocqué, 2025 is described in
Ortiz et al., 2025: 998.
In synonymy:
Platycephala Butler, 1932 = Macedoniola
Strand, 1932
(Strand, 1932: 195, preoccupied, replacement name)
Nomina dubia
