type Linyphia turbatrix O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1879 (preoccupied by Linyphia turbatrix O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1877 (= Lepthyphantes)) = Linyphia misera O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1882 (replacement name); gender feminine

N.B.: formerly Hillhousia (type species Hillhousia desolans F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1894 = Erigone atra, therefore Hillhousia is syn. to Erigone), revival of Aphileta suggested by Denis, 1968b: 8; synonymy of Saaristoa Millidge, 1978 with Aphileta, proposed by Breitling, 2019b: 27 and Breitling, 2021: 20, not accepted here as it is based mainly on COI, see FAQ 7).

Transferred to other genera:
Aphileta microtarsus (Emerton, 1882) -- see Eulaira

Aphileta concava (Emerton, 1882, T from Sciastes) = Aphileta misera (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1882) (Holm, 1968a: 189, sub Hillhousia).
Aphileta imbecillior (Dahl, 1902, T from Oreonetides) = Aphileta misera (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1882) (Wiehle, 1956: 246, sub Hillhousia).
