[3] In 1982, Barbara York Main distinguished the tribe Teylini from the tribe Anamini by technical differences, including a narrow band of cuspules on the maxillae and the absence of a spine-bearing spur on the first tibia of males (except in Teyloides).

[4] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2018 found that Anamini excluding Teylini was not monophyletic, and so merged the former Teylini into Anamini, placing the tribe in the subfamily Anaminae of the family Nemesiidae.

[3] In 2020, Opatova et al. raised the group to the rank of family, including all nine genera previously placed in the Anamini.

[2] As of July 2020[update], the World Spider Catalog accepts the following genera.

[1] A 2018 molecular phylogenetic study divided them into four informal groups.
