N.B.: A larger composition of the genus was discussed by Lehtinen, 2002: 322, but no species was formally transferred. Wunderlich, 1987a: 253 placed the subgenus Proxysticus Dalmas, 1922 (type Thomisus lalandii Audouin, 1826; treated as a genus by some authors, e.g., Jézéquel, 1964c) as a junior synonym of Psammitis Menge, 1876; Wunderlich, 1992a: 495 resurrected Proxysticus but this was not followed by Wunderlich, 1995F (see also Lehtinen, 2002: 320, 322 and Jantscher, 2002: 331). Breitling, 2019a: 202, 203 confirmed the synonymy of Proxysticus with Bassaniodes Pocock, 1903, stated by Lehtinen, 2002: 322.
