Notes. Bennett (2005, 2017) provided keys to all Nearctic genera then classified in Cybaeidae . See Copley et al. (2009) for genus diagnosis and descriptive details as well as a key to the species groups (females only) of the Holarctic and Californian clades of Cybaeus . Males of Cybaeus species often are difficult to assign to particular species groups. See Bennett et al. (2016, 2019, 2021), respectively, for revisions of the Nearctic species of the Holarctic clade and of the adenes and aspenicolens groups of the Californian clade.
