N.B.: Considered a senior synonym of Sparassus Walckenaer, 1805, via new designation of S. smaragdulus (Fabricius, 1793) as type species of that name, by Jäger, 1999a: 6. Gender feminine (see note under Calommata); in contrary Canard & Cruveillier, 2016: 44 state the genus to be neuter, which is not followed here. For details on a possible African member, see Jäger & Kunz, 2005: 170, f. 259-261).
