Family Desidae Pocock, 1895 View in CoL View at ENA (new circumscription)
Type genus: Desis Walckenaer, 1837 (type species: Desis dysderoides Walckenaer, 1837 ; syn. of Desis maxillosa (Fabricius, 1793)) .
Diagnosis. Following Wheeler et al. (2017), representatives of Desidae have 3 claws, tarsal trichobothria, and also comprise cribellate or ecribellate genera. Additionally, the palpal tibia of the male can have a complex RTA (e.g., Matachiinae with multiple, separate processes; Metaltellinae and Amphinectinae [in part] with distal and proximal processes).
Composition. Current circumscription in Wheeler et al. (2017), less Forsterina and Taurongia (transferred to Stiphidiidae ), and with the inclusion of the Cedicinae Marusik, Zonstein & Koponen, 2023 to include 3 genera previously included in Cybaeidae ( Cedicus Simon, 1875 , Cedicoides Charitonov, 1946 , Paracedicus Fet, 1993 ).
