Dipluridae Simon, 1889

Family | ACCEPTED

N.B.: possibly paraphyletic per Goloboff, 1993: 30; delimited to Diplurinae (genera Diplura, Harmonicon, Linothele, Trechona and Troglodiplura) and Masteriinae Simon, 1889 (genera Masteria, Siremata and Striamea) by Opatova et al., 2020: 696, elevation of the former subfamilies Ischnothelinae and Euagrinae and of the genus Microhexura to family level by Opatova et al., 2020: 697, 698.

Gen. Harmonicon F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1896 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:00033

type Harmonicon rufescens F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1896; gender neuter

N.B.: removed from the synonymy of Diplura C. L. Koch, 1850 by Maréchal & Marty, 1998: 500, contra Raven, 1985a: 74, but seemingly construed to include only the type species (H. rufescens) and one new species, as no mention was made of either H. nigridorsi Mello-Leitão, 1924 or H. riveti Simon, 1903 (Pseudohermachura Mello-Leitão, 1927 and Prosharmonicon Mello-Leitão, 1938 were confirmed as junior synonyms of Diplura rather than H. by Drolshagen & Bäckstam, 2011: 91); Harmonicum is an invalid emendation.
