Hemicloea
Fauna Portal Genus Number: 548
(after Azavedo et al. 2022): The Australian Hemicloea could be closely related to members of Lamponidae, Gnaphosidae or Trochanteriidae, as found here and in previous studies. It is unlikely that Hemicloea is closely related to the Australian flattened dionychans placed in the Trachycosmidae, since no phylogenetic analyses so far suggested this relationship. The genus is retained here until more information is available to redefine the limits of Gnaphosidae, Lamponidae and Trochanteriidae.
