Pirate spiders, members of the family Mimetidae, are araneomorph spiders which typically feed on other spiders.
Oarces is a spider genus in the family Araneidae. It is the sister genus of Gnolus. Gnolus and Oarces transferred from Mimitidae by Dimitrov et al., 2012: Suppl. 1, p. 15.
Araneoidea is a taxon of araneomorph spiders, termed "araneoids", treated as a superfamily. As with many such groups, its circumscription has varied; in particular some families at one time moved to the Palpimanoidea have more recently been restored to Araneoidea. A 2014 treatment includes 18 families, with the araneoids making up about 26% of the total number of known spider species; a 2016 treatment includes essentially the same taxa, but now divided into 17 families.
The Entelegynae or entelegynes are a subgroup of araneomorph spiders, the largest of the two main groups into which the araneomorphs were traditionally divided. Females have a genital plate (epigynum) and a "flow through" fertilization system; males have complex palpal bulbs. Molecular phylogenetic studies have supported the monophyly of Entelegynae.
