N.B.: Blabomma and Yorima are transferred from Dictynidae to Cybaeidae by Wheeler et al., 2017: 606. Argyroneta is transferred from Cybaeidae to Dictynidae and Cicurina (as well as Chorizomma and Mastigusa, which are not explicitely listed by Wheeler et al., 2017) from Dictynidae to Hahniidae by Wheeler et al., 2017: 607. Re-separation of Argyronetidae (Ono, 2009a: 169, Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii, with the single genus Argyroneta) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here. Considering the low bootstrap values of dichotomies in the families Agelenidae, Cybaidae, Hahniidae, Toxopidae and Dictynidae (see Wheeler et al., 2017) the proposed positon of Argyroneta is far from certain (e.g. Ono & Ogata, 2018: 618). We reflect the transfer here and state that Argyronetidae Thorell, 1869: 45 has priority under ICZN. We suggest to wait for a stable family placement and naming before a nomenclatorial action at the family name level is done.
