Sphingius Thorell, 1890 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:02267 ]
N.B.: transferred from the Gnaphosidae (Micariinae) to the Corinnidae by Reiskind, 1969: 165 and to the Liocranidae by Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001: 489; considered a senior synonym of Alaeho Barrion & Litsinger, 1995: 170 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04810] (type A. linoi Barrion & Litsinger, 1995, originally described in Clubionidae) by Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001: 489 and of Scotophaeoides Schenkel, 1963: 49 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:02473] (type S. sinensis Schenkel, 1963, originally described in Gnaphosidae) by Zhang, Fu & Zhu, 2009b: 32; transfer to the Corinnidae (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: ix) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here.
