Family: Linyphiidae Blackwall, 1859 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spiderfam:0103] Back

Gen. Centromerus Dahl, 1886 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:00887 ]
N.B.: in advance considered a senior synonym of Parasintula Dahl, 1912b: 614 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05360] (type Sintula balteatus Simon, 1884 = Centromerus serratus (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1875) by Lessert, 1910b: 222 (by S of the type species with C. serratus); considered a senior synonym of Cryptocleptes Simon, 1884a: 352 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05361] (type C. paradoxus Simon, 1884), Rhabdoria Hull, 1911a: 583 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05358] (type Erigone diluta O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1875) (not accepted by Bonnet, 1958: 3849) and Tapinasta Simon, 1894a: 647 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05357] (type T. biskrensis Simon, 1894 = Centromerus succinus (Simon, 1884)) by Simon, 1929: 720; considered a senior synonym Adoxoneta Simon, 1929: 559, 724 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05359] (type Anthrobia europaea Simon, 1911) by Fage, 1931: 170; considered a senior synonym of Atopogyna Millidge, 1984b: 264 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05352] (type Erigone cornupalpis O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1875) by Eskov & Marusik, 1992c: 34; not a senior synonym of Tallusia Lehtinen & Saaristo, 1972 (Millidge, 1984b: 239, contra Locket, Millidge & Merrett, 1974: 107); the placement of Tapinasta Simon, 1894 as a junior synonym of Syedra Simon, 1884 rather than this genus by Saaristo & Tanasevitch, 1996b: 175 was not accompanied by a justification and is therefore not followed here; the synonmy of Centromerita and Tallusia with Centromerus is proposed by Breitling, 2019b: 29 and Breitling, 2021: 21 and is not accepted here as it is based mainly on COI (see FAQ 7) and a further splitting of the polyphyletic genus Centromerus is expected.
