N.B.: Gertsch's (1974) synonymies of Paraleptoneta Fage, 1913 and Neoleptoneta Brignoli, 1972 with Leptoneta have not been accepted by subsequent workers; all species from outside the Mediterranean region are probably misplaced; for a discussion of monophyly and illustrations of patellar glands of five species, see Platnick, 1986d.
