Liocranoides is a genus of American false wolf spiders that was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1881. [2] They live in habitats with cold surfaces, such as caves. [3] It was transferred from the sac spiders to the Tengellidae in 1967, [4] which was later merged with Zoropsidae. [5]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Zoropsidae</span> Family of spiders

Zoropsidae, also known as false wolf spiders for their physical similarity to wolf spiders, is a family of cribellate araneomorph spiders first described by Philipp Bertkau in 1882. They can be distinguished from wolf spiders by their two rows of eyes that are more equal in size than those of Lycosidae.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Coneweb spider</span> Family of spiders

Coneweb spiders (Diguetidae) are six-eyed haplogyne spiders that live in tangled space webs, fashioning a cone-like central retreat where they hide and lay eggs. It is a small family, containing only two genera with fifteen species and is confined to the New World, preferring deserts. Members of the genus Diguetia usually build their webs in shrubs or between cactus pads. They have the same eye arrangement as the venomous recluse spiders, but none are known to be harmful to humans.
