Family: Lycosidae Sundevall, 1833 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spiderfam:0100] Back

Gen. Alopecosa Simon, 1885 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01589 ]
N.B.: considered by some authors (e.g. Prószyński & Starega, 1971: 53) as a junior synonym of Tarentula Sundevall, 1833a: 181 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05885] (sub 'Tarentulae', no type species fixed), but revival of that name has not been followed by the most subsequent authors (e.g. Brignoli, 1983c: 436, see also the discussions by Bonnet, 1951 and Dondale & Redner, 1979: 1034); see also the suppression of Tarantula Fabricius, 1793: 432 by ICZN, 2017b: 109; considered a senior synonym of Solicosa Roewer, 1960d: 928 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05884] (type Tarentula solitaria Herman, 1879) by Lugetti & Tongiorgi, 1969: 91 (through transfer of type species) and of Jollecosa Roewer, 1960d: 775 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05883] (type Lycosa jollensis Schenkel, 1951 = Alopecosa kochi (Keyserling, 1877)) by Dondale & Redner, 1979: 1035.
