Segestriidae Simon, 1893

Family |   ACCEPTED
N.B.: originally as subfamily of Dysderidae, raised to family level by Brignoli, 1976g: 30; the subfamily Ariadninae was raised to family level by Wunderlich, 2020c: 74, he showed in his diagnosis several differences between the taxa around Segestria and Ariadna, but he did not provide any convincing argument why these taxa should be elevated to family level; here is maintained the status  of Ariadninae and Segestriinae as subfamilies of Segestriidae for reasons of stability; mentioning of "Ségestriens" by Simon, 1864: 94, but the French ending -iens was not accepted as taxon at familiar level by Bonnet and Platnick, and this is continued here.
