Anapidae is a family of rather small spiders with 233 described extant species in 59 genera. [1] It includes the former family Micropholcommatidae as the subfamily Micropholcommatinae, [2] and the former family Holarchaeidae. Most species are less than 2 millimetres (0.079 in) long. [3]
In 1939, Alexander Petrunkevitch raised the tribe Heptatheleae to a separate family, Heptathelidae. In 1985, Robert Raven reunited the two families, [4] a view supported by Breitling in 2022.
