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.
Psechridae is a family of araneomorph spiders with about 70 species in two genera. [1] [2] These are among the biggest cribellate spiders with body lengths up to 2 centimetres (0.79 in) and funnel webs more than 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) in diameter.
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
It was restored to family level and redefined in 2025 based on a phylogenetic study of Pisauridae that found the family to be paraphyletic. [3] Morphologically, they differ from pisaurids in possessing a subterminal lateral apophysis below the fulcrum in males, and in females by possessing small, rounded accessory bulbs.

Each burrow has two or three entrances that lead into a main tube. The trapdoor is a form of safety and ways of ambushing prey. Idiopidae adapt and live in many various environments as seen by the map on the far right, which leads to the various species to co-exist with other Idiopidae and other spiders outside of the family.

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 Palpimanoidea or palpimanoids, also known as assassin spiders, [1] are a group of araneomorph spiders, originally treated as a superfamily. As with many such groups, its circumscription has varied. As of September 2018, the following five families were included: [2] [3] Archaeidae; Huttoniidae; Mecysmaucheniidae; Palpimanidae; Stenochilidae
