Lepthyphantes Menge, 1866

GENUS |   ACCEPTED

N.B.: all other spellings of this name are considered unjustified emendations; the removal of some species to other genera by Tanasevitch, 1992 was not accepted by Thaler, van Helsdingen & Deltshev, 1994: 111, but by later authors, e.g. Saaristo & Tanasevitch, 1996b; only very few species belong to Lepthyphantes s.str. per Saaristo & Tanasevitch, 1996b: 176, the most to Lepthyphantes s.lat.; not a senior synonym of Oryphantes Hull, 1932 (Saaristo & Tanasevitch, 1996b: 182); see note under Megalepthyphantes.
