Family: Desidae Pocock, 1895 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spiderfam:0039] Back

Gen. Akatorea Forster & Wilton, 1973 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01895 ]
N.B.: Transfer of Akatorea otagoensis to Amaurobiidae (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here, furthermore is it not the type species of the genus. Transferred from Amphinectidae to Desidae by Wheeler et al., 2017: 606 - not explicitely but together with the whole family.
