Cyatholipidae is a family of spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1894. [1] Most live in moist montane forest, though several species, including Scharffia rossi, live in dry savannah regions. They occur in Africa, including Madagascar, [2] New Zealand and Australia, and one species (Pokennips dentipes) in Jamaica. [3]
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 ]
Atypoidea is a clade of mygalomorph spiders, one of the two main groups into which the mygalomorphs are divided (the other being Avicularioidea). It has been treated at the rank of superfamily. It contains five families of spiders: [1] [2] [3] Atypidae Thorell, 1870 Antrodiaetidae Gertsch, 1940 Mecicobothriidae Holmberg, 1882
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 .
The family Pacullidae contains three-clawed spiders with six eyes, lacking a cribellum. They resemble spiders from the family Tetrablemmidae in some respects but are much larger, always exceeding 5 mm long, have a very wrinkled (rugose) cuticle, and females do not have large membranous receptacles. [4]
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.
Spiders of this family are very small, usually less than two millimeters long, and lack a cribellum. They can have zero, six or eight eyes, the rear median eyes either reduced or missing. One species: 'Epigastrina typhlops' [4] (Rix & Harvey, 2010) [5] has no eyes, an adaption to life underground [6]. In some genera the carapace is modified so ...
Phyxelididae is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Pekka T. Lehtinen in 1967 as a subfamily of Amaurobiidae, [1] and later elevated to family status as a sister group of Titanoecidae. [ 2 ]
