Bunodidae is an extinct family of synziphosurine chelicerates that lived in the Silurian. Bunodidae is classified inside the clade Planaterga alongside Pseudoniscidae and Dekatriata (chasmataspidids, eurypterids and arachnids).[1][2][3] Bunodidae is composed by two genera, Bunodes (the type genus) and Limuloides.[1][3][2]
