Compiler and date details

2012 - Updated by Dr Robert Raven, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, with families by Dr Barbara Baehr, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, and Dr Helen Smith, Australian Museum, Sydney, as indicated for each of these.

Introduction

Currently contains two genera. The genus Eutittha Thorell, 1889 was removed from synonymy with Cheiracanthium C.L. Koch, 1839 by Esyunin & Zamani (2020) however this arrangement was rejected by Raven & Hebron (2024). We retain Eutittha as a synonym of Cheiracanthium.
