Rhytidicolidae, also known as golden tunnel-web spiders,[1] is a small Neotropical family of mygalomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1903.[2] It was originally described as a tribe and considered a junior synonym of Aporoptychinae Simon, 1889 (now Cyrtaucheniidae) by Raven in 1985.[3]
In 2022, Rhythidicolidae was elevated to family level.[4] The family currently consists of two genera and fifteen species.[5]
