Gen.
Pelicinus Simon, 1892 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:00536 ]
N.B.: not preoccupied, contra Bonnet, 1958: 3455, 3537 (Pelecinus would have be preoccupied), so the replacement name Philesius Simon, 1893a: 303 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:06072] is unjustified (Brignoli, 1983c: 190); not a junior synonym of Opopaea Simon, 1891 (Saaristo, 2001a: 321, contra suggestion by Roth, 1985: 10); considered a senior synonym of Myrmopopaea Reimoser, 1933: 396 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:00528] (type M. jacobsoni Reimoser, 1933 = Pelicinus marmoratus Simon, 1892) and Harryoonops Makhan & Ezzatpanah, 2011e: 1 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04035] (type H. amrishi Makhan & Ezzatpanah, 2011) by Platnick et al., 2012b: 15.
