Fourteen new generic and ten new specific synonymies in Pholcidae (Araneae), and transfer of Mystes Bristowe to Filistatidae Author Huber, Bernhard A. Author Colmenares, Pío A.

Note. The type specimen (♀ holotype from Malaysia , Perak, Parit Buntar [ 5°07′N , 100°30′E ], collected by H.T. Pagden [probably 1929–1931 ]) should be deposited in the Natural History Museum, London, but it is probably lost. The description and drawings provided by Bristowe (1938) clearly indicate that this is a filistatid rather than a pholcid: strong palpal claw; flat oval carapace with narrow pronounced clypeus and compact ocular area; large labium fused to the sternum with a constriction between the endites; and dark, elongate tooth opposing the cheliceral fang. The small size of the female indicates that it is probably a member of the subfamily Prithinae, although the characteristic calamistrum in three rows is not reported in the original description. Several genera of Prithinae occur in Southeast Asia, and Mystes may well be a synonym of one of them. This problem will have to be solved by a future reviser of Filistatidae .
