The tengellid spiders (family Tengellidae) include eight genera and a little over 30 species worldwide. Arthropods are Animals belonging to the Phylum Arthropoda (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, " Joint " Arachnids are a class ( Arachnida) of joint-legged Invertebrate Animals in the subphylum Chelicerata. Spiders are Predatory Invertebrate Animals that have two body segments, eight legs no chewing mouth parts and no wings 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 Entelegynae are a subgroup of araneomorph spiders Almost all members of this group unlike most members of Haplogynae, have eight eyes and females have Karl Friedrich Theodor Dahl (June 24 1856 in Rosenhofer Brök north of Dahme Holstein – June 29 1929 in Greifswald) was a German Zoologist This page lists all described species of the spider family Tengellidae as of Apr A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. The family is confined to the New World, with two monotypic genera occurring in and Madagascar and New Zealand, respectively. The New World is one of the names used for the non-Eurasian/non-African parts of the Earth specifically the Americas and Australia. Madagascar, or Republic of Madagascar (older name Malagasy Republic) is an Island nation in the Indian Ocean off the southeastern New Zealand is an Island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two main landmasses (the North Island and the South Island Like most spiders, they have eight eyes. The characters defining the family are technical and there are still some disagreements as to its size and placement within spider classification. According to Griswold (1993), the family is polyphyletic. In Phylogenetics, a Taxon is polyphyletic ( Greek for "of many races" if the trait its members have in common evolved separately in different This is another of the families carved of the catchall family Clubionidae over the last 20 or so years. The sac spiders of the family Clubionidae have a very confusing taxonomic history
Some of these strange spiders look like a cross between a crab spider and a sac spider, as in the American genus Lauricius. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the
