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).
