Revision and cladistic analysis of Pholcus and closely related taxa (Araneae, Pholcidae)

By Bernhard A. Huber
Bonner zoologische Monographien 58: 1-509, 2011

A really beautiful revision, it even includes color images.

Dr. Huber has all of his publications, including this one, available for download (or on request) from his Pholcidae website: http://www.pholcidae.de/ (There isn't a separate URL for each page at his site, so I can only direct you to the main page. It's easy to find everything once you're there, though.)
