Subfamily Chernetinae Menge, 1855
Compiler and date details
Mark S. Harvey, Western Australian Museum, Perth, Western Australia, Australia
Introduction
The Chernetinae are probably a paraphyletic group (Harvey 1995), and clearly are in need of intensive study to determine their relationships and composition. The subfamily includes the majority of chernetids, and is strongly represented in Australia.
Diagnosis
The Chernetinae can be distinguished from Goniochernetinae by the straight posterior carapaceal margin, and from Lamprochernetinae by the lack of T-shaped spermathcae.
