“…Prior to this investigation, literature records indicated the presence of several other predominantly Northern Hemisphere genera in the Neotropics. These were Gongylidiellum Simon, 1884, Leptorhoptrum Kulczynski, 1894, Macrargus Dahl, 1886, Minyriolus Simon, 1884, Oedothorax Bertkau, 1883, Phanetta Keyserling, 1886, and Tmeticus Menge, 1868. Gongylidiellum was represented in the Neotropics by two species, G. panamanum Petrunkevitch, 1925 and G. uschuaiense Simon, 1902.…”

“…The otherwise Palearctic genus Minyriolus was represented in the Neotropics by M. australis Simon, 1902; specimens of M. australis could not be located and it is considered nomen dubium . Oedothorax was represented in the Neotropics by seven species: O. bisignatus (Mello‐Leitão, 1945), O. dubia (O. Pickard‐Cambridge, 1898), O. ectrapela (Keyserling, 1886), O. esperanzae (Tullgren, 1901), O. fuegianus (Simon, 1902), O. michaelseni (Simon, 1902) and O. montevidensis (Keyserling, 1878). Six of these are transferred below to other genera, sometimes in other families, and some are synonymized with other species.…”

“…Unfortunately, most of Millidge’s genera lack adequate diagnoses. Millidge neglected much of the older descriptive literature, especially that of Keyserling (1886, 1891), leading to the creation of many junior synonyms. Millidge relied exclusively on the condition of the tracheal system to assign genera to subfamily, even when other characters indicated otherwise.…”

“…By far the greatest contributor to Neotropical erigonine araneology in the 19th century was Graf Eugen von Keyserling. His volumes from Die Spinnen Amerikas on theridiid and Brazilian spiders, the later completed and published by George Marx after Keyserling’s death (Levi, 1964), and Spinnen aus Uruguay contain descriptions of 36 new Neotropical erigonine species, mostly from Brazil and Peru (Keyserling, 1878, 1886, 1891). All of Keyserling’s erigonines were described in the then theridiid genus Erigone Audouin, 1826.…”

The Neotropical genera of the linyphiid spider subfamily Erigoninae are revised at the genus level. Emphasis was placed on genera endemic to the Neotropics and species with dubious relationships to their nominal genera, especially species from the older literature. This work recognizes 50 genera in the Neotropics, of which 39 genera are strictly endemic to the Neotropics, three are represented outside the Neotropics by one species, and eight genera have significant representation both in and beyond the Neotropics. Three additional genera, Ceraticelus Simon, 1884, Idionella Banks, 1893, and Eulaira Chamberlin & Ivie, 1933, are represented in northern Mexico and/or the West Indies, but are best classified as having a Nearctic or Holarctic distribution. Species previously placed in the typically northern hemisphere genera Gongylidiellum Simon, 1884, Leptorhoptrum Kulczynski, 1894, Macrargus Dahl, 1886, Minyriolus Simon, 1884, Oedothorax Bertkau, 1883, Phanetta Keyserling, 1886, and Tmeticus Menge, 1868 are found to be misplaced or nomina dubia; two genera endemic to the Neotropics, Clitistes Simon, 1902 and Zilephus Simon, 1902 are nomina dubia. The genus Beauchenia Usher, 1983 is an erigonine, not a mynoglenine; there are no known representatives of the Mynogleninae in the Neotropics. One hundred and forty new combinations are established; 19 genera are synonymized including Micromaso Tambs‐Lyche, 1954, revalidation rejected; 34 species are synonymized. The following new genera are established: Gigapassus gen. nov., Intecymbium gen. nov., Moyosi gen. nov., Orfeo gen. nov. and Toltecaria gen. nov.Malkinella Millidge, 1991 and Valdiviella Millidge, 1985 are preoccupied; Malkinola nom. nov. and Valdiviola nom. nov. are established as replacement names. The following new species are described: Asemostera daedalus sp. nov., Asemostera enkidu sp. nov., Asemostera janetae sp. nov., Fissiscapus attercop sp. nov., Gonatoraphis lysistrata sp. nov., Gravipalpus standifer sp. nov., Microplanus odin sp. nov., Moyosi chumota sp. nov., Myrmecomelix leucippus sp. nov., Neomaso damocles sp. nov., Notiomaso exonychus sp. nov., Paraletes pogo sp. nov., Psilocymbium acanthodes sp. nov., Smermisia holdridgi sp. nov. and Smermisia parvoris sp. nov. The following species remain misplaced in inappropriate genera: Erigone fellita Keyserling, 1886, Erigone zabluta Keyserling, 1886, and Oedothorax fuegianus (Simon, 1902). For 23 species, type specimens could not be located and the species could not be unambiguously identified; the type of Macrargus pacificus Berland, 1924 could not be located, but it is transferred to Laminacauda Millidge, 1985. The female of Onychembolus subalpinus Millidge, 1985 described by Millidge in 1991 is mismatched; this female is Notiomaso exonychus sp. nov.; the true female of Onychembolus subalpinus was described as both Neomaso bidentatus Millidge, 1991 syn. nov. and Neomaso tridentatus Millidge, 1991 syn. nov. The male and female of Asemonetes[now Asemostera]arcana (Millidge, 1991) are not conspecific; a male t...

“…The following species are recorded for the first time from Amazonas: Mermessus conjunctus , Novafrontina uncata (F.O. PickardCambridge, 1902), Sphecozone fastibilis (Keyserling, 1886), Sphecozone ignigena (Keyserling, 1886) and Vesicapalpus simplex . Additional records of Sphecozone crassa are presented.…”
