Family: Nesticidae Simon, 1894 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spiderfam:0081] Back

Gen. Nesticus Thorell, 1869 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:00660 ]
N.B.: considered a senior synonym of Ivesia Petrunkevitch, 1925b: 320 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04876] (type I. tennesseensis Petrunkevitch, 1925) by Kaston, 1945b: 4 and Gertsch, 1984: 16 (contra Lehtinen & Saaristo, 1980: 51) and of Tuganobia Chamberlin, 1933b: 122 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04878] (type T. potteria Chamberlin, 1933) by Gertsch, 1984: 16 (contra Lehtinen & Saaristo, 1980: 51, who transferred that genus here from the Linyphiidae); not a senior synonym of Gaucelmus Keyserling, 1884 (Gertsch, 1971: 96) or Typhlonesticus Kulczyński, 1914 (Lehtinen & Saaristo, 1980: 52, contra Brignoli, 1971c: 114); Yvesella Arndt, 1928: 84 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04879] is a superfluous replacement name for Ivesia (cited misspelled as Yvesia, which would be preoccupied in Porifera by Topsent, 1890), see Strand, 1932: 194; Platnick (WSC 15.0) has followed Brignoli and Yaginuma in not accepting the transfers by Lehtinen & Saaristo, 1980: 51 of most Far Eastern species to Cyclocarcina Kishida, 1942 (see note there).
