Phrurolithidae is a family of araneomorph spiders.

Taxonomy

The Phrurolithidae were formerly included in the Corinnidae as the subfamily Phrurolithinae. Phylogenetic studies showed that this placement was unwarranted, and a separate family justified.[2]

Genera

As of October 2015, the World Spider Catalog accepted the following genera:[1]

  • Abdosetae Fu, Zhang & MacDermott, 2010
  • Dorymetaecus Rainbow, 1920
  • Drassinella Banks, 1904
  • Liophrurillus Wunderlich, 1992
  • Orthobula Simon, 1897
  • Otacilia Thorell, 1897
  • Phonotimpus Gertsch & Davis, 1940
  • Phrurolinillus Wunderlich, 1995
  • Phrurolithus C. L. Koch, 1839
  • Phruronellus Chamberlin, 1921
  • Phrurotimpus Chamberlin & Ivie, 1935
  • Piabuna Chamberlin & Ivie, 1933
  • Plynnon Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001
  • Scotinella Banks, 1911
