Gen.
Laestrygones Urquhart ,
1894 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01868 ]
N.B.: Transferred from the Oxyopidae to the Toxopidae by Forster, 1964a: 147, to Desidae by Forster, 1970b: 121; considered a senior synonym of Stiphidiellum Dalmas, 1917, transferred from the Psechridae, by Forster, 1955c: 186. Transfer to Cycloctenidae (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) not sufficiently justified and is not accepted here. Transferred from Desidae to Toxopidae by Wheeler et al., 2017: 609. Generic name appears grammatically to be a plural noun, but in the interests of stability should be regarded as an arbitary combination of letters and as masculine singular.
