The genus Argoctenus has not been diagnosed with modern taxonomic methods.
Prowling Spiders
Miturgidae
(after Raven 2009; following Raven & Stumkat 2003): Two-clawed lycosoid spiders with grate-shaped tapetum and retrolateral tibial apophysis of male pedipalp with unsclerotised portion. Eyes in two rows with posterior row slightly procurved to recurved. Male pedal tibiae without basal fracture zone.
In Australia, the Miturgidae currently consists of two subfamilies, the Miturginae (genus Miturga) and Diaprograptinae (genera Diaprograpta, Eupograpta, Mituliodon, Mitzuroga, Nuliodon) (Raven 2009).
Argoctenus
7 species
Elassoctenus
1 species
Males with slender embolus base directed posteriorly, with embolus thin along prolateral diameter of bulb and lying in same line as the long, slender median apophysis; and the retrolateral tibial apophysis consisting of two trianguloid plates restricted to the base of the cymbium, each joined by unsclerotised zone.
Knotodo
1 species
Differs from Diaprograpta and Zealoctenus in the extensive conductor in males and the form of the epigyne in females and from all other described Australian miturgid genera in the presence of true claw tufts.
Mituliodon
4 species
Miturga
3 species
