Synotaxidae Simon 1895

FamilySynotaxidae Simon, 1895 Comments. Until recently, the family was considered monotypic and restricted to the Neotropical Realm (Table 1). Current studies have revealed greater diversity with the description of genus Hamus Ballarin & Li, 2015 and Tekellina Levi, 1957 from China, and the recognition of the non-monophyletic status of the original taxa (Lin et al. 2016; Lin et al. 2024). The biogeographic range now extends to the Oriental and Palearctic realms (Table 1).
