Information
A few genera are presently not well-classified, and/or have classifications which are disputed:
- Brachionopus Pocock, 1897. Dollar has recently propsed transferring this genus to the family Barychelidae; a proposal which is still disputed.
- Proshapalopus Mello-Leitão, 1923. This has been placed in several different sub-families by several different arachnologists.
