Abstract
<p><i>Hapalotremus exilis</i> (Mello-Leitão, 1923) and <i>Hapalotremus muticus</i> (Mello-Leitão, 1923), previously considered as nomina dubia are here revalidated through the examination of the holotypes. <i>Dolichothele</i> Mello-Leitão, 1923 is revalidated and their type species, <i>Dolichothele exilis</i> Mello-Leitão, 1923 is restored. <i>Goniodontium</i> Mello-Leitão, 1923 and <i>Oligoxystre</i> Vellard, 1924 are considered junior synonyms of <i>Dolichothele</i>. <i>Hapalotremus muticus</i> and <i>Oligoxystre caatinga</i> Guadanucci, 2007 are considered junior synonyms of <i>D. exilis</i>. All species of <i>Oligoxystre</i> are transferred to <i>Dolichothele</i>. <i>Cyclothoracoides</i> Strand, 1929, currently a junior synonym of <i>Hapalotremus</i> Simon, 1903, is here considered a junior synonym of <i>Homoeomma</i> Ausserer, 1871.</p> <a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01650521.2015.1103553">http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01650521.2015.1103553</a>
