The Lycosoidea are a superfamily of araneomorph eight-eyed spiders, with twelve families:

According to Fang et al. Taxonomic rank ( rank, category, taxonomic category is an abstract term used in the Scientific classification, or Taxonomy, of organisms The Araneomorphae are a Suborder of Spiders They are distinguished by having Chelicerae (fangs that point diagonally forward and cross in a pinching action The wandering spiders is a term used to refer to the spider family Ctenidae The Amphinectidae are a Spider family with about 180 described species in 35 genera Lynx Spiders are hunting spiders that spend their lives on plants flowers and shrubs Nursery web spiders are Spiders of the family Pisauridae They resemble Wolf spiders (family Lycosidae but they carry their egg sacs by means of their The Psechridae are a family of Spiders with about two dozen species in two orders The Senoculidae are a Spider family with 31 described species in one genus The Stiphidiidae are a Spider family with 94 described species in 13 genera The Trechaleidae are a Spider family with 75 described species in 15 genera The Zoridae are a Spider family with more than 70 described species in 13 genera Zorocratid spiders are uncommon somewhat Wolf spider -like wandering Spiders The eye arrangement is not like that of wolf spiders as the posterior eyes are not Zoropsidae is a family of uncommon somewhat Wolf spider -like wandering cribellate Spiders The eye arrangement is not like that of wolf (2000)^[1], the relationship of some families, inferred from mitochondrial 12S and 16S rDNA, is as follows:
