- Gonethella nesiotes Chamberlin 1918^[3]^{: 165–166}
Gonethina Chamberlin, 1918^[3]^: 166
- Gonethina fijiana Chamberlin 1920^[4]^: 80–81

Sphendononema Verhoeff, 1904^[5]^{: 259–261}
- Sphendononema chagualensis (Kraus, 1957)
- Sphendononema guildingii (Newport, 1845)^[6]^: 356

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]
