N.B.: the synonymy of this genus with Cnephalocotes Simon, 1884, proposed by Wunderlich, 1970: 408, has not been accepted by later authors (see van Helsdingen, 1979b: 407); considered a senior synonym of Eustichothrix Dahl, 1886: 78 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04627] (type Theridion sanguinolentum Walckenaer, 1841) by Simon, 1894a: 672.
