Prodidominae is a family of spider, sometimes called long-spinneret ground spiders. It was formerly regarded as a subfamily of Gnaphosidae, but was raised to a family in 2022.

The posterior median eyes are flat and silvery, with a triangular, egg-shaped or irregularly rectangular shape.Barbara BaehrProdidomidae/ref> Biology Spiders in the Prodidominae are ground dwellers.

The genus ''Zimiris'' is synanthropic and thus found throughout the tropics. Distribution Although '' Theuma walteri'' was described from Turkmenistan by Eugène Simon, it is suspected that Simon accidentally exchanged its locality with that of ''Anagraphis pallens'' (Gnaphosidae); the ...
