Gen. Cheiracanthium C. L. Koch, 1839 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:02093 ]
N.B.: Chiracanthium is an unjustified emendation; transferred from the Clubionidae to the Miturgidae by Ramírez, Bonaldo & Brescovit, 1997: 45 and to the Eutichuridae (= Cheiracanthiidae) by Ramírez, 2014: 341; re-transfer to Clubionidae (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here; considered a senior synonym of Chiracanthops Mello-Leitão, 1942b: 415 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05082] (type C. mandibularis Mello-Leitão, 1942 = Cheiracanthium inclusum (Hentz, 1847)) by Bonaldo & Brescovit, 1992: 732 (synonymy not accepted by Wunderlich, 2012b: 185) and of Helebiona Benoit, 1977e: 79 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:02100] (type H. wilma Benoit, 1977; the spelling Helenebiona in Brignoli, 1983c: 552 is a lapsus); Helebiona was transferred from the Clubionidae to the Miturgidae by Ramírez, Bonaldo & Brescovit, 1997: 45); considered a senior synonmy of Eutittha Thorell, 1878b 178 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04660] (type E. insulana Thorell, 1878) by Simon, 1897a: 79, 87 and confirmed by Raven & Hebron, 2024: 84 (rejecting the validation by Esyunin & Zamani, 2020: 1296); Esyunin & Zamani, 2020: 1305 ff. discuss the other species once placed in Eutittha.
