The Zorinae are a spider subfamily of the Miturgidae,[1][failed verification (See discussion.)] with more than 70 described species in 13 genera.
Spiders in this subfamily hunt without webs.
It is very hard to determine species without high quality images of the genitalia.
Distribution
Most species occur in the tropics (South America, Australia, Africa, Asia). The species Israzorides judaeus is endemic to Israel, and several species of the genus Zora are found in colder climates, including the United States and Europe up to Sweden.
