Biology:Phrurolithidae
From HandWiki
Phrurolithidae is a family of araneomorph spiders, known as guardstone spiders. The family was first described by Nathan Banks in 1892.[1] First included in the Corinnidae as the subfamily Phrurolithinae, later phylogenetic studies justified a separate family.[2]
