FAM. TRECHALEIDAE Simon, 1890

Last updated Apr. 30, 2000

N.B.: recognized as the "Trechalea genus-group" and considered "not a close relative of the nursery-web Pisauridae" by Sierwald, 1990: 51 (cf. Carico, 1986); considered by Griswold (1993: 37) to include the Rhoicininae, including (per Sierwald, 1993: 69) at least Barrisca Chamberlin & Ivie, 1936, Rhoicinus Simon, 1898 and Shinobius Yaginuma, 1991; the older name Triclaridae O. P.-Cambridge, 1877 is now a nomen oblitum.

Transferred to other families:
Sisenna Simon, 1898 -- see Architis under Pisauridae.
Tunabo Chamberlin, 1916 -- see Lycosidae.

In synonymy:
Xingusiella Mello-Leitão, 1940 = Paradossenus F. O. P.-Cambridge, 1903 (Sierwald, 1993: 55).

Nomen dubium:
Dyrinoides Badcock, 1932, type D. onychiatus Badcock, 1932: 33, f. 25 (Brazil), also including D. minutus Badcock, 1932: 34 (Brazil) -- Carico, 1993b: 231 (N.B.: placed in the "Trechalea genus-group" by Sierwald, 1990: 51).

Gen. Barrisca Chamberlin & Ivie, 1936

N.B.: a rhoicinine, transferred from the Agelenidae to the Rhoicininae (Pisauridae) by Roth, 1964: 759, to the Amaurobiidae by Lehtinen, 1967: 218, and here per Sierwald, 1993: 69 and Griswold, 1993: 37.

Gen. Demelodos Mello-Leitão, 1943

N.B.: in the original description, Mello-Leitão, 1943e: 164 used two spellings of this name, the one above and Demolodos; following Caporiacco's (1948a: 632) assumption that the name is an anagram of Dolomedes, the spelling above is assumed to be the correct one; the spelling Demolodes, used by Roewer and subsequent catalogs, is incorrect; placed in the "Trechalea genus-group" by Sierwald, 1990: 51.
