Gen.
Laestrygones Urquhart, 1894 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01868 ]
N.B.: the generic name appears grammatically to be a plural noun, but in the interests of stability it should be regarded as an arbitary combination of letters and as masculine singular; transferred from the Oxyopidae to the Toxopidae by Forster, 1964a: 147, to the Desidae by Forster, 1970b: 121; transfer to the Cycloctenidae (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here; transferred from the Desidae to the Toxopidae by Wheeler et al., 2017: 609; considered a senior synonym of Stiphidiellum Dalmas, 1917a: 325 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05042] (type Stiphidion minutissimum Hogg, 1909) (transferred from the Psechridae) by Forster, 1955c: 186.
