A few notes:

This site is devoted one of the most numerous and difficult matters in the taxonomy of the spider family Linyphiidae. The systematic and chorological information advanced here is based on my personal database on the family.

Some species combinations may not match to that in the Internet Platnick Catalogue because some generic-level synonymies are not accepted by Norman Platnick (sometimes from formal reasons), but acknowledged by myself, e.g., Agyneta/Meioneta, Baryphyma/Minyrioloides, Collinsia/Halorates, etc.

The author will be glad to receive any comments. English improvement is also welcome.
