type Araneus aquaticus Clerck, 1757; gender feminine

N.B.: transferred from the Agelenidae to the Cybaeidae (sub Agelenidae: Cybaeinae) by Grothendieck & Kraus, 1994: 272 and to the Dictynidae by Wheeler et al., 2017: 607, revalidation of Argyronetidae Thorell, 1870 (Ono, 2009a: 169, Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here; considering the low bootstrap values of dichotomies in the families Agelenidae, Cybaidae, Hahniidae, Toxopidae and Dictynidae (see Wheeler et al., 2017) the proposed position of Argyroneta is far from certain (e.g. Ono & Ogata, 2018: 618); we reflect the transfer here and state that Argyronetidae Thorell, 1870 would have priority under ICZN over Dictynidae O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1871 or Cybaeidae Banks, 1892; we suggest to wait for a stable family placement and naming before a nomenclatorial action at the family name level is done.
