Type species

Tarantula: Phalangium reniforme Linnaeus, 1758, by subsequent designation of Karsch, 1879a.

Phrynus: Phalangium palmatum Herbst, in Lichtenstein and Herbst, 1797, by subsequent designation of Karsch, 1879a (Quintero, 1982: 43 requested the ICZN to designate Phrynus operculatus Pocock, 1902c, as type species) (Latreille, 1810 incorrectly designated Phalangium lunatum as type species - however, this species is not available as type species, as it was not originally included by Lamarck).

Admetus: Phalangium palmatum Herbst, in Lichtenstein and Herbst, 1797, by subsequent designation of Simon, 1892: 51.

Neophrynus: Phalangium palmatum Herbst, in Lichtenstein and Herbst, 1797, by original designation (but based upon a misidentification).
