Platybunus C.L. Koch, 1839 is a large genus in the family Phalangiidae, subfamily Platybuninae.

Abbreviated logonymy from WCO[]

• Platybunus C.L. Koch 1839c: 26 ^[1]. Type-species by ICZN ruling (1972): Opilio bucephalus C.L. Koch, 1835.
• Platylophus C.L. Koch 1839c: 28 [junior homonym of Platylophus Swainson, 1832 (Aves), first noted by Simon (1879b: 219), who substituted the synonym Platybunus; senior objective synonym of Platybunus C.L. Koch 1839 by L. Koch (1869: 166). The synonymy was originally subjective. L. Koch, as first reviser (ICZN Code Art. 24), gave Platylophus C.L. Koch priority, but the discovery that it was preoccupied necessitated replacement by Platybunus]. Type-species by subsequent designation of Thorell (1876a: 464): Opilio rufipes C.L. Koch, 1836 (= Opilio bucephalus C.L. Koch, 1835).

Type species[]

Opilio bucephalus C.L. Koch, 1835, designated by ICZN opinion 976, now Platybunus bucephalus

Etymology[]

Platybunus from Greek πλατύς (wide) + βουνός (mound). Gender masculine. Platylophus from Greek πλατύς (wide) + λόφος (crest). Gender masculine.

Platybunus and Platylophus originally in family Opilionides.

Combined distribution[]

Europe [the location given for Platybunus mirus Loman, 1892 (Sumatra) is probably wrong.]
