Dysderoidea
Superfamily of spiders / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dysderoidea are a clade or superfamily of araneomorph spiders. The monophyly of the group, initially consisting of the four families Dysderidae, Oonopidae, Orsolobidae and Segestriidae,[2] has consistently been recovered in phylogenetic studies.[1][3] In 2014, a new family, Trogloraptoridae, was created for a recently discovered species Trogloraptor marchingtoni. It was suggested that Trogloraptoridae may be the most basal member of the Dysderoidea clade.[1][4] However, a later study found that Trogloraptoridae was placed outside the Dysderoidea and concluded that it was not part of this clade.[5]
