N.B.: considered a senior synonym of Metidae by Heimer & Nentwig, 1982: 292 and Levi, 1986a: 93 (although not by Wunderlich, 1986: 115), but that name is unavailable in any case, as it is preoccupied in the Copepoda; see note under Araneidae regarding the placement of nephilines; includes taxa placed by Forster & Forster, 1999: 166 in the "Nanometidae," for which a formal phylogenetic argument has not yet appeared; some genera considered members of the Zygiellidae by Wunderlich, 2004f.

N.B.: Bryant (1940: 355) followed Simon in considering Agriognatha a junior synonym of Cyrtognatha Keyserling, 1881 but followed O. P.-Cambridge in regarding the latter name as a junior homonym of Cyrtognathus Falderman, 1835 (Coleoptera); Chickering (1956b: 2), however, considered the two genera to be distinct.
