Members of this genus closely resemble those of the genus Callobius, especially the females.[5] It is considered a senior synonym of Callioplus,[2] but not of Alauximus, which is a synonym of Tugana.[5]
Species
The former C. crassa and C. infumata have both been moved to the Cuban genus, Tugana, and several species have synonyms with the name "Amaurobius", such as C. armipotens and C tibialis.
