Family Trogulidae Sundevall, 1833 View in CoL
Trogulides Sundevall, 1833: 35 (proposed as family; compr. Trogulus , Caeculus ); type genus Trogulus Latreille, 1802 , inferable from the stem of the family name (ICZN 11.7.1.1);—C.L. Koch 1839b: 7 (compr. Trogulus ).
Trogulidae View in CoL — Simon 1872a: 239 (compr. Trogulus View in CoL , Cyphophthalmus View in CoL ); Roewer 1940: 26 (compr. Anelasmocephalus View in CoL , Calathocratus View in CoL , Kofiniotis View in CoL , Platybessobius View in CoL , Trogulocratus View in CoL , Trogulus View in CoL ); Šilhavý 1967: 176 (compr. Anarthrotarsus View in CoL , Anelasmocephalus View in CoL , Calathocratus View in CoL , Kofiniotis View in CoL , Platybessobius View in CoL , Trogulocratus View in CoL , Trogulus View in CoL ); Schönhofer & Martens 2010a: 71 (compr. Anarthrotarsus View in CoL , Anelasmocephalus View in CoL , Calathocratus View in CoL , Kofiniotis View in CoL , Trogulus View in CoL ).
Trogulini— Sørensen 1873: 515; Thorell 1876: 468 (as subfamily; compr. Anelasma View in CoL , Trogulus View in CoL ).
Trogulinae— Simon 1879a: 289 (compr. Trogulus , Anelasmocephalus , Calathocratus , Metopoctea ); Šilhavý, 1967: 175.
Remarks. Trogulus is understood as the type genus since Sundevall (1833: 35). Albeit C.L. Koch (1850: 98) indirectly designated Trogulus when assuming the group monotypic, Shear (1974: 67) seems the first to explicitly state Trogulus as the type genus. Some of the suggested changes in this family originate from a PhD thesis (Schönhofer 2009), which may not qualify as a valid taxonomic publication, hence they are given as new.
Genus Anarthrotarsus Šilhavý, 1967 (1 species)
Anarthrotarsus Šilhavý, 1967: 176 View in CoL ; type species Anarthrotarsus martensi Šilhavý, 1967 View in CoL by monotypy and original designation.
Etymology. Gender masculine; Greek, from „an“ (no), “arthron” (joint) and “tarsus” referring to the onesegmented tarsi of all legs.
martensi Šilhavý, 1967: 176 View in CoL ; loc. typ.: The original type locality Greece, Corfu, provided by Roewer, is doubtful for his known meddling with localities ( Helversen & Martens 1972) and because the species was never collected there again. If it can’t be confirmed, the affirmed paratype locality ( Greece, Crete, Bay of Sithia) should be preferred (ICZN 76A.2).
Genus Anelasmocephalus Simon, 1879a View in CoL (13 species)
Anelasma Sørensen, 1873: 519 View in CoL ; type species Anelasma lycosinum Sørensen, 1873 by subsequent designation ( Thorell 1876: 468).
Anelasmocephalus Simon, 1879a: 297 View in CoL ; replacement name for Anelasma Sørensen, 1873 View in CoL , preoccupied by Anelasma Darwin, 1854 View in CoL .
Rhexana Sørensen, 1879: 124 View in CoL ; the other suggested replacement name, Anelasmocephalus Simon, 1879a View in CoL , has priority.
Etymology. Gender masculine; Greek, from „an“ (no) and “elasma” (plate) “kephalé” (head) referring to the small head cap in comparison to Dicranolasma ( Sørensen 1873) .
balearicus Martens & Chemini, 1988: 35; loc. typ.: Spain, Mallorca, settlement near Palma.
brignolii Martens & Chemini, 1988: 29; loc. typ.: Italy, Sardinia, Nuoro, Macomer, Borore.
calcaneatus Martens & Chemini, 1988: 31; loc. typ.: Italy, Sicily, Palermo, Corleone, Bosco della Ficuzza.
cambridgei ( Westwood, 1874) ; nomen protectum; loc. typ.: Great Britain, Dorset, Bloxworth near Blandford.
Trogulus violaceus Gervais, 1844: 130 ; nomen oblitum: Assigned to Anelasmocephalus View in CoL by Schönhofer (2009: 187). Pabst (1953: 22) mentioned the striking colouration as characteristic for all juveniles of this species. Being the older name it is here suggested to treat violaceus as nomen oblitum in favour of the established name cambridgei View in CoL (nomen protectum; ICZN 23.9.1). Trogulus violaceus has not been used as valid name after its year of description (ICZN 23.9.1.1) and at least 150 works list the name Anelasmocephalus cambridgei View in CoL (ICZN 23.9.1.2).
Trogulus cambridgei Westwood, 1874: 202 View in CoL ; citation misspelled as cambridgii in Martens & Chemini 1988: 36. Anelasma sörenseni L. Koch, 1877: 195 ;—syn. Simon 1879a: 299.
Anelasma sorenseni — Simon 1879a: 299.
Anelasmocephalus cambridgei View in CoL — Simon 1879a: 299; Martens 1978: 176; Martens & Chemini 1988: 36 (redescr.).
crassipes ( Lucas, 1849) View in CoL ; loc. typ.: Algeria, Eastern part. Remarks. The syntype series most likely comprises material pooled from four localities mentioned in the original description (according to the number of individuals and the label stating “Algérie”; for other examples of mixed Simon series see Schönhofer & Martens 2008, e.g. p. 548). According to ICZN 73.2.3, the type locality comprises all these localities until a lectotype is designated .

Genus Calathocratus Simon, 1879a View in CoL (9 species)
Calathocratus Simon, 1879a: 301 View in CoL ; type species Trogulus africanus Lucas, 1849 View in CoL by monotypy.
Platybessobius Roewer, 1940: 27 View in CoL ; type species Platybessobius singularis Roewer, 1940 View in CoL by monotypy;—syn. Schönhofer & Martens 2010a: 71.
Trogulocratus Roewer, 1940: 27 View in CoL ; type species Trogulocratus intermedius Roewer, 1940 View in CoL by monotypy;—syn. Schönhofer & Martens 2010a: 71.
Remarks. When describing Calathocratus, Simon (1879a) defined Trogulus africanus as the type species, but based the description of the genus on a different species, rendering the description invalid. The genus name remained available by specification of the type species and a redescription of the genus should consider the original type series of africanus (MHNP 2201; Schönhofer 2009: 172).
Schönhofer and Martens (2010a) united three poly- and paraphyletic genera within Calathocratus . A list of taxonomic changes deemed unnecessary. The same authors also showed cryptic diversity to be extraordinarily high, while clear species delineation on the basis of molecular genetics or morphology could not be realised.
Etymology. Gender masculine; maybe from Greek „kalathos“ (flared fruit basket borne on the head as a symbol of fruitfulness in Greek and Egyptian mythology; compare Gruber 2003 for Simon’s preference to integrate Egyptian mythology in taxonomy) and “kratos” (authority, maybe in terms of “head of”), likely circumscribing the conspicuous head cap of these opilionids.
africanus ( Lucas, 1849) ; loc. typ.: Algeria, surroundings of Algiers (as specified on the label of the type series MHNP 2201 View Materials ; Schönhofer 2009: 173) .

Calathocratus africanus View in CoL — Simon 1879a: 301.
Trogulocratus tunetanus Roewer, 1950 View in CoL ; syn. n.: Schönhofer (2009: 173) found the types of tunetanus View in CoL to be conspecific with the types of africanus View in CoL .
beieri Gruber, 1968: 435 View in CoL ; loc. typ.: Turkey, Anatolia, Vilayet Içel, Namrun (?amlĭyayla).

Caucasian State Natural Biospheric Reserve, yew and box-tree grove.
intermedius ( Roewer, 1940) View in CoL ; loc. typ.: Greece, Crete, Meskla. Remarks. The locality is doubtful for reasons explained under Anarthrotarsus View in CoL and Kofiniotis View in CoL , and because the species has never been recollected on Crete.
Trogulocratus intermedius Roewer, 1940: 28 View in CoL .
Calathocratus intermedius View in CoL — Schönhofer & Martens 2010a: 71; Schönhofer 2009: 173.

Trogulocratus rhodiensis Gruber, 1963: 308 View in CoL .
Calathocratus rhodiensis View in CoL — Schönhofer & Martens 2010a: 71.
singularis ( Roewer, 1940) View in CoL ; loc. typ.: Greece, Crete, Topolia Gorge.
Platybessobius singularis Roewer, 1940: 27 View in CoL .
Calathocratus singularis View in CoL — Schönhofer & Martens 2010a: 71.
sinuosus ( Sørensen, 1873) View in CoL ; loc. typ.: Italy, Prov. Rome, Gennazzano.
Trogulus sinuosus Sørensen, 1873: 522 View in CoL .
Trogulus albicerus Sørensen, 1873: 523 View in CoL ; syn. n.: Described from the same locality, albicerus View in CoL is based on juveniles of sinuosus (Schönhofer 2009: 173) View in CoL .
Trogulocratus apenninicus Marcellino, 1965: 327 ;—syn. Chemini & Gruber 1976: 132.
Trogulocratus sinuosus View in CoL — Chemini & Gruber 1976: 132.
Calathocratus sinuosus View in CoL — Schönhofer & Martens 2010a: 71.
Remarks. Brignoli and Raffaelli (1978: 94) synonymised the Italian apenninicus with the supposedly Greek intermedius , but given the geographic distance, it is unlikely that both are conspecific. Chemini and Gruber (1976: 132) redirected the synonymy of apenninicus to the Italian sinuosus .
