The family Dipluridae, known as curtain-web spiders (or confusingly as funnel-web tarantulas, a name shared with other distantly related families [2]) are a group of spiders in the infraorder Mygalomorphae, that have two pairs of booklungs, and chelicerae (fangs) that move up and down in a stabbing motion.
Migidae, also known as tree trapdoor spiders, is a family of spiders with about 100 species in eleven genera. They are small to large spiders with little to no hair and build burrows with a trapdoor. [ 1 ]
In 2016, a large molecular phylogenetic study was published online that included 932 spider species, representing all but one of the then known families. It "refutes important higher-level groups", [5] including Paleocribellatae, Neocribellatae, Araneoclada and Haplogynae. In the preferred cladogram, the "Haplogynae" are divided among a number ...
4 or 5 families The Dysderoidea are a clade or superfamily of araneomorph spiders. The monophyly of the group, initially consisting of the four families Dysderidae , Oonopidae , Orsolobidae and Segestriidae , [ 2 ] has consistently been recovered in phylogenetic studies .
Heptathelidae is a family of spiders. [1] It has been sunk within the family Liphistiidae as the subfamily Heptathelinae, [2] but as of April 2024 was accepted by the World Spider Catalog. [1] It is placed in suborder Mesothelae, which contains the most basal living spiders.
The Spartaeinae are a subfamily of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders). The subfamily was established by Fred R. Wanless in 1984 [1] to include the groups Boetheae, Cocaleae, Lineae, Codeteae and Cyrbeae, which in turn were defined by Eugène Simon.
Cybaeidae is a family of spiders first described by Nathan Banks in 1892. [1] The diving bell spider or water spider Argyroneta aquatica was previously included in this family, but is now in the family Dictynidae. [2] [3]
Leptonetidae is a family of small spiders adapted to live in dark and moist places such as caves. [1] The family is relatively primitive having diverged around the Middle Jurassic period. [2] They were first described by Eugène Simon in 1890. [3]
