Abstract

After the publication of the first taxonomic revision of Trechalea Thorell, 1869 by Carico (1993), several genera of Trechaleidae were revised, including Dossenus Simon, 1898 (Silva et al. 2007), Enna O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1897 (Silva et al. 2008), Syntrechalea F.O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1902 (Carico 2008) and Hesydrus Simon, 1898 (Carico 2005a). New genera have also been proposed, for example, Paratrechalea Carico, 2005 and Trechaleoides Carico, 2005 (Carico 2005b). However, there is still much taxonomic work to be done in the spider family Trechaleidae and here we identify further synonymies and list misidentifications of genera and species.
