N.B.: traditionally considered a subfamily of Agelenidae, placed as a subfamily of Dictynidae by
Lehtinen, 1967 and elevated to family by
Forster, 1970b: 13; after
Wheeler et al., 2017: 606 Cybaeidae includes Cryphoecinae Lehtinen, 1967
syn. nov. [authorship correctly
Simon, 1898a: 250, sub Cryphoeceae; also Cryphoecini
Kishida, 1955: 6 is older] (genera
Cryphoeca Thorell, 1870,
Calymmaria Chamberlin & Ivie, 1937,
Ethobuella Chamberlin & Ivie, 1937 and
Willisus Roth, 1981 as well as
Cryphoecina Deltshev, 1997,
Dirksia Chamberlin & Ivie, 1942,
Neocryphoeca Roth, 1970 and
Tuberta Simon, 1884, which are not explicitely listed by
Wheeler et al., 2017; all transferred from Hahniidae) and the genera
Blabomma Chamberlin & Ivie, 1937 and
Yorima Chamberlin & Ivie, 1942 (transferred from Dictynidae); furthermore
Argyroneta Latreille, 1804 (monotypic in Argyronetinae Thorell, 1869) is transferred
to the Dictynidae by
Wheeler et al., 2017: 607;
Mastigusa Menge, 1854 is transferred from the Hahniidae to the Cybaeidae by
Castellucci et al., 2023: 6; the transfers of
Blabomma,
Cryphoeca and
Tuberta to Cicurinidae Murphy & Roberts, 2015 [oldest available name is Cicurininae
Kishida, 1955: 4] (
Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here; Cybaeidae were considered a synonym of Argyronetidae Thorell, 1869 by
Grothendieck & Kraus, 1994: 272; Cicurinidae is new circumscribed (
Bromella,
Cicurina and
Chorizomma) and elevated to family by
Gorneau et al., 2023: 11; included genera of Cybaeidae are listed by
Gorneau et al., 2023: 11; the family is not monophyletic per
Kulkarni, Wood & Hormiga, 2023: 515, f. 15-16.
