Gen. Althepus Thorell, 1898 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:00356 ]
N.B.: assigned to the Psilodercinae by Machado, 1951: 84; considered a senior synonym of Althepoda Strand, 1929: 12 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05990], a superfluous generic replacement name for Althepus Thorell, 1898 (thought preoccupied in Polychaeta by Rafinesque, 1815, but this is a nomen nudum) by Bonnet, 1955: 270.
