Taxonomy[]

  • Cosmobunus Simon, 1879:189

Placement[]

Originally in Phalangiinae. Transferred to Leiobuninae from Leptobuninae by Cokendolpher (1985: 399). “The Old World Cosmobunus granarius (Lucas) is not congeneric with New World species referred to Cosmobunus. New World species appear to be congeneric with a large complex of species presently referred to Leiobunum. The Old World Cosmobunus were revised and redescribed by Rambla (1970).” (Cokendolpher 1985: 399).

Type species[]

Phalangium granarium Lucas 1846, by monotypy - now Cosmobunus granarius (Lucas 1846)
