Wafer Trapdoor Spider
The wafer trapdoor spiders, family Cyrtaucheniidae, are a widespread family of spiders that lack the thorn-like spines on tarsi and metatarsi I and II (the two outermost leg segments) found in true trapdoor spiders ( Ctenizidae). Etymology The scientific family name derives from the Greek κυρταύχην, ''kyrtaúchēn'', which in turn is derived from Greek κυρτός ''kyrtós'', meaning "curved", "arched" or "bent", αὐχήν ''auchen'', meaning the cervix or neck, and the suffix -''idae'', which designates belonging to a family. Biology Many, but not all, make wafer-like doors to their burrows, while others build the cork-like doors found commonly in the true trapdoor spiders. The biology of nearly all the species is poorly known. The monotypic ''Angka hexops'' has only six eyes, with the posterior median eyes missing. It is up to 15 mm long in both sexes.Murphy, Frances & Murphy, John (2000). ''An Introduction to the Spiders of South East Asia''. Kuala Lumpu ...

Spider Families
Spider taxonomy is that part of taxonomy that is concerned with the science of naming, defining and classifying all spiders, members of the Araneae order of the arthropod class Arachnida with more than 48,500 described species. However, there are likely many species that have escaped the human eye to this day, and many specimens stored in collections waiting to be described and classified. It is estimated that only one third to one half of the total number of existing species have been described. Arachnologists currently divide spiders into two suborders with about 129 families. Due to constant research, with new species being discovered every month and others being recognized as synonyms, the number of species in the families is bound to change and only reflects the present state of knowledge. Nevertheless, the species numbers given here are useful as a guideline – see the table of families at the end of the article. History Spider taxonomy can be traced to the work of Swed ...

Nemesiidae
Nemesiidae, also known as funnel-web trapdoor spiders, is a family of mygalomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1889, and raised to family status in 1985. Before becoming its own family, it was considered part of "Dipluridae". Description Nemesiidae are relatively large spiders with robust legs and a body that is nearly three times as long as it is wide. They are darkly colored, brown to black, though some have silvery hairs on their carapace. '' Atmetochilus'' females can grow over long. They live in burrows, often with a hinged trapdoor. This door is pushed up while the spider waits for passing prey. They rarely leave their burrows, catching prey and withdrawing as quickly as possible. Some of these burrows have a side tubes, but it is not certain whether ''Sinopesa'' builds burrows at all. Genera , the World Spider Catalog accepts the following genera: *'' Amblyocarenum'' Simon, 1892 *''Brachythele'' Ausserer, 1871 — Europe, Cyprus *''Calisoga'' Chamberli ...
