Subfamily Stemonyphantinae Wunderlich, 1986

Linyphiinae Locket & Millidge 1953 [ad partem],

Linyphieae Merrett 1963, 1965 [ad partem],

Stemonyphantes group ( Millidge, 1977, 1984) [ad partem],

Stemonyphantinae Wunderlich, 1986 , Hormiga et al. 2021,

Type genus Stemonyphantes Menge, 1866 .

Diagnosis (updated from Hormiga et al. 2021): Male stemonyphantines are distinguished from other linyphiids by the presence on the tegulum of a conductor (absent in all other linyphiids), and sometimes a median apophysis (also absent in all other linyphiids), and an integral or partially integral paracymbium. The apical region of the cymbium of most stemonyphantines is either narrow and elongated ( Stemonyphantes ) or conical ( Weintrauboa , Pecado , Putaoa ) (e.g., see figures in Blauvelt (1936), Merrett (1963), van Helsdingen (1968), and Gavish-Regev et al. (2013)). Composition: Stemonyphantinae includes, in addition to the type genus, the genera Pecado , Putaoa , and Weintrauboa .
