Nilus is recognised as junior synonym of Thalassius Simon 1885; accordingly all species previously placed in Thalassius including nomina dubia are transferred to Nilus. Nilus curtus O. Pickard-Cambridge 1876 is recognised as senior synonym of Thalassius spinosissimus Karsch 1879. Nilus decoratus (Patel & Reddy) comb. nov. from India is transferred from Pisaura Simon 1885. Nilus amazonicus Simon 1898 from Brazil is transferred to the genus Architis Simon 1898: Architis amazonica (Simon 1898) comb. nov. Nilus oblongus Pavesi 1897 from Ethiopia and N. marginatus (Simon 1888) from the Andaman Islands are considered nomina dubia. Sphedanus Thorell 1877 is removed from the synonymy with Nilus and recognised as a senior synonym of Eurychoera Thorell 1897. The type species, S. undatus Thorell 1877, is redecribed and its copulatory organs are illustrated for the first time. Two species previously placed in the genus Eurychoera are transferred: Sphedanus banna (Zhang, Zhu & Song 2004) comb. nov. and Sphedanus quadrimaculatus (Thorell 1897) comb. nov. Campostichommides Strand 1911 and Dianpisaura Zhang, Zhu & Song 2004 are recognised as junior synonyms of Dendrolycosa. Nilus lanceolatus Simon 1898 and Pisaura lizhii Zhang 2000 are proposed as junior synonyms of Dendrolycosa robusta Thorell 1895. Four species are described as new: D. bairdi spec. nov. from Laos (male, female), D. duckitti spec. nov. from Laos (male, female), D. sierwaldae spec. nov. from New Guinea (female) and D. yuka spec. nov. from Australia (female). Eight species previously placed in the genera Nilus, Campostichommides Strand 1911, Pisaura Simon 1885 and Dianpisaura Zhang, Zhu & Song 2004, respectively are transferred to Dendrolycosa: D. ornata (Berland 1924) comb. nov. from New Caledonia, D. spadicaria (Simon 1897) comb. nov. from India (nomen dubium), D. bobbiliensis (Reddy & Patel 1993) comb. nov. from India, D. gitae (Tikader 1970) comb. nov. from India, D. inquirenda (Strand 1911) comb. nov. nomen dubium from Indonesia, D. parangbusta (Barrion & Litsinger 1995) comb. nov. from Philippines, D. putiana (Barrion & Litsinger 1995) comb. nov. from Philippines, D. songi (Zhang 2000) comb. nov. from Yunnan, China. Dendrolycosa stauntoni Pocock 1900 is considered a nomen dubium. One species originally described in Dendrolycosa is transferred to the genus Hygropoda: H. gracilis (Thorell 1891) comb. nov. Two species previously placed in the genus Tinus F. O. Pickard-Cambridge 1901 are transferred to Hygropoda: H. sikkimus (Tikader 1970) comb. nov., H. chandrakantii (Reddy & Patel 1993) comb. nov.

Meiacanthus abruptus is described based on two specimens, 31.4-36.6 mm SL, from Komodo Island and color photographs of others from Bali. The combination of a white or yellow body color and a single dark mid-lateral stripe that is bluntly rounded at its terminus on the caudal-fin base distinguishes it from other single striped species. This new species closely resembles the allopatric M. vicinus, which has the mid-lateral stripe extendingfarther onto the caudal fin and tapering to a point. Meiacanthus erdmanni is described from the only known specimen, 35.8 mm SL, photographed and collected in 65-70 m in Cenderawasih Bay, western New Guinea. One of the deepest known species of Meiacanthus, it has two dark mid-lateral stripes and differs from other double-striped species in having a series of dark blotches on the base of the dorsal fin and only 24 segmented dorsal-fin rays. Meiacanthus cyanopterus, another deep-water species, is described from seven specimens, 19.8-45.3 mm SL, collected in 40-65 m at three sites in Alor Strait. In life this species has a dorsal fin with a blue-violet stripe bordered above by a wide black stripe. An identification key is provided for all the striped species of Meiacanthus, including at least one additional undescribed species previously confused with M. abditus. Color photographs of other Meiacanthus species and some new distributional records are also given.

Only two species have been described from South America: Segestria ruficeps Guerin, 1832 (known from Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina) and Segestria pusilla Nicolet, 1849 (known only from Chile). A study of the female genitalia shows that S. ruficeps is a junior synonym of the Paleartcic species Segestria florentina (Rossi 1790), which is redescribed and illustrated. S. pusilla is transferred to the genus Ariadna as a nomen dubium.

Its distribution comprises the Atlantic Forest domain (Ab'Saber, 1967) in the northeastern and southeasternBrazil (Tiburcio et al, 2008). Abravaya and Jackson (1978) described briefly the tadpole of this species. Therefore, a more detailed description of the larval morphology is needed. Tadpoles were collected in temporary ponds of clear water, as well as muddy water, with average depth of 15 cm, located inside the Mata do Catole, Maceio, state of Alagoas, Brazil (9°35'S, 35°49'W; 140 m a.s.L), in July 2006 and September 2010 (collection permits by IBAMA/RAN #184/05 and 24791-1). Two specimens were kept alive through metamorphosis and compared with adult characteristics for species identification. Macrogenioglottus alipioi is the only known species of the family occurring in the area.
