Family: Desidae Pocock, 1895 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spiderfam:0039] Back

Gen. Paracedicus Fet, 1993 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:03573 ]
N.B.: described as a subgenus of Cedicus, elevated to genus by Marusik & Guseinov, 2003: 32; the transfer to the Desidae by Zamani & Marusik, 2017: 320 was not followed, because it does not fit with the geographical range given by Wheeler et al., 2017: 608 and the subfamilies defined there; the new subfamily Cedicinae Marusik, Zonstein & Koponen, 2023: 102 (includes Cedicus, Cedicoides and Paracedicus) is transferred from the Cybaeidae to the Desidae by its authors.
