Between 1998 and 2011, the Venezuelan arachnologist Manuel Ángel González-Sponga (GS) published a series of taxonomic papers devoted to the Pholcidae of Venezuela. Of his 22 new genera, 20 were monotypic when described, suggesting a high percentage of synonyms. We studied his descriptions and as far as accessible his type specimens and propose the following new generic synonymies: Autana GS, 2011 = Mesabolivar GS, 1998; Ayomania GS, 2005 and Venezuela Koçak & Kemal, 2008 (new replacement names for Falconia GS, 2003) = Mecolaesthus Simon, 1893; Carbonaria GS, 2009 = Mecolaesthus Simon, 1893; Caruaya GS, 2011 = Mesabolivar GS, 1998; Coroia GS, 2005 = Artema Walckenaer, 1837; Maimire GS, 2009 = Mecolaesthus Simon, 1893; Moraia GS, 2011 = Mecolaesthus Simon, 1893; Nasuta GS, 2009 = Mecolaesthus Simon, 1893; Portena GS, 2011 = Metagonia Simon, 1893; Rioparaguanus GS, 2005 = Mesabolivar GS, 1998; Tonoro GS, 2009 = Litoporus Simon, 1893; Sanluisi GS, 2003 = Mecolaesthus Simon, 1893. Three of the type species are also specific synonyms: Autana autanensis GS, 2011 = Mesabolivar aurantiacus (Mello-Leitão, 1930); Coroia magna GS, 2005 = Artema atlanta Walckenaer, 1837; Tonoro multispinae GS, 2009 = Litoporus uncatus (Simon, 1893). Six species that González-Sponga described under Blechroscelis (a genus previously synonymized with Priscula Simon, 1893) are all synonyms of Mesabolivar eberhardi Huber, 2000 (B. acuoso GS, 2011; B. araguanus GS, 2011; B. blechroscelis GS, 2011; B. copeyensis GS, 2011; B. cordillerano GS, 2011; B. andinensis GS, 2011). In addition, and unrelated to González-Sponga's work, we synonymize the Central Asian monotypic genus Ceratopholcus Spassky, 1934 with Crossopriza Simon, 1893; we synonymize the Chinese species Pholcus acerosus Peng & Zhang, 2011 with Pholcus fragillimus Strand, 1907 and remove the Malaysian monotypic genus Mystes Bristowe, 1938, previously thought to be the only East Asian representative of the subfamily Ninetinae, to the family Filistatidae.
1998年至2011年间,委内瑞拉蛛形学家曼努埃尔·安赫尔·冈萨雷斯 - 斯蓬加(GS)发表了一系列关于委内瑞拉幽灵蛛科的分类学论文。在他描述的22个新属中,有20个在描述时是单型属,这表明同义词的比例很高。我们研究了他的描述,并尽可能查阅了他的模式标本,提出以下新的属同义词:Autana GS,2011 = Mesabolivar GS,1998;Ayomania GS,2005和Venezuela Koçak & Kemal,2008(Falconia GS,2003的新替代名称)= Mecolaesthus Simon,1893;Carbonaria GS,2009 = Mecolaesthus Simon,1893;Caruaya GS,2011 = Mesabolivar GS,1998;Coroia GS,2005 = Artema Walckenaer,1837;Maimire GS,2009 = Mecolaesthus Simon,1893;Moraia GS,2011 = Mecolaesthus Simon,1893;Nasuta GS,2009 = Mecolaesthus Simon,1893;Portena GS,2011 = Metagonia Simon,1893;Rioparaguanus GS,2005 = Mesabolivar GS,1998;Tonoro GS,2009 = Litoporus Simon,1893;Sanluisi GS,2003 = Mecolaesthus Simon,1893。其中三个模式种也是种同义词:Autana autanensis GS,2011 = Mesabolivar aurantiacus(梅洛 - 莱特昂,1930);Coroia magna GS,2005 = Artema atlanta Walckenaer,1837;Tonoro multispinae GS,2009 = Litoporus uncatus(西蒙,1893)。冈萨雷斯 - 斯蓬加在Blechroscelis(一个先前与Priscula Simon,1893同义的属)下描述的六个物种都是Mesabolivar eberhardi Huber,2000的同义词(B. acuoso GS,2011;B. araguanus GS,2011;B. blechroscelis GS,2011;B. copeyensis GS,2011;B. cordillerano GS,2011;B. andinensis GS,2011)。此外,与冈萨雷斯 - 斯蓬加的工作无关,我们将中亚单型属Ceratopholcus Spassky,1934与Crossopriza Simon,1893同义;我们将中国物种Pholcus acerosus Peng & Zhang,2011与Pholcus fragillimus Strand,1907同义,并将先前被认为是九疣蛛亚科唯一东亚代表的马来西亚单型属Mystes Bristowe,1938归入丝蛛科。
