N.B.: the resurrection of Phlogius Simon, 1887d: 195 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05129] by Schmidt, 1995k: 9 was rejected by Raven, 2000a: 570, who also placed Chilocosmia Schmidt & von Wirth, 1992b: 9 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04825] (type C. dichromata Schmidt & von Wirth, 1992) and Selenopelma Schmidt & Krause, 1995a: 22 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04828] (type S. kovariki Schmidt & Krause, 1995) as junior synonyms (see also Schmidt, 2002c: 3, Schmidt, 2015a, Schmidt, 2015c); West, Nunn & Hogg, 2012: 23 placed the type species of Chilocosmia (but not the other species) in Orphnaecus instead; Phlogius is a replacement name for Phrictus L. Koch, 1874a: 488 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05128] (type P. crassipes L. Koch, 1874), preoccupied in Hemiptera by Spinola, 1839.
