Genera and species

As of 2017 ^[update] , the Integrated Taxonomic Information System recognizes the following genera and species in Pselliodidae: ^[2]

• Gonethella Chamberlin, 1918 ^{[3] : 165}
  • Gonethella nesiotes Chamberlin 1918 ^{[3] : 165–166}
• Gonethina Chamberlin, 1918 ^{[3] : 166}
  • Gonethina fijiana Chamberlin 1920 ^{[4] : 80–81}
  • Gonethina grenadensis Chamberlin 1918 ^{[3] : 166–167}
• Sphendononema Verhoeff, 1904 ^{[5] : 259–261}
  • Sphendononema chagualensis (Kraus, 1957)
  • Sphendononema guildingii (Newport, 1845) ^{[6] : 356}
  • Sphendononema rugosa (Newport, 1844) ^{[7] : 95}

In contrast, Gregory D. Edgecombe  [ de ] wrote this family comprises "at least three species in a single genus", only mentioning the genus Sphendononema and the species S. guildingii and S. rugosa. ^[8]
