Subfamily Cteninae
The subfamily Cteninae to date comprises the Neotropical genera Ancylometes, Celaetycheus, Centroctenus, Ctenus, Guasuctenus, Isoctenus, Ohvida, Parabatinga, Phoneutria and the new genera Kiekie and Spinoctenus. However, results of recent phylogenetic analyses (Polotow & Brescovit 2014) indicate that several species are misplaced in Ctenus and the placement of Ancylometes is still a matter of controverse.
Asthenoctenus was thought to belong to the subfamily Viridasiinae, but remained in Ctenidae, since Viridasiidae were lifted to the family rank.
The belonging of the well-known genus Cupiennius ist still not resolved, it was recently excluded from Ctenidae, but not assigned to another family so far.
