'''Anamidae''' is a family of Australian [[Biology:Mygalomorphae|mygalomorph]] spiders. It was first described as a tribe by Simon in 1889, then raised to the subfamily Anaminae of the family [[Biology:Nemesiidae|Nemesiidae]], before being raised to a family level by Opatova et al. in 2020.<ref name=WSC_gl136/><ref name=OpatHamiHediMont19/>

==Taxonomy==
The tribe Anamini was first described by Eugène Simon in 1899.<ref name=HarvHillMainMoul18/> In 1982, Barbara York Main distinguished the tribe Teylini from the tribe Anamini by technical differences, including a narrow band of [[Biology:Glossary of spider terms#cuspule|cuspules]] on the [[Biology:Glossary of spider terms#maxilla|maxillae]] and the absence of a spine-bearing spur on the first [[Biology:Glossary of spider terms#tibia|tibia]] of males (except in ''Teyloides'').<ref name=Main04/> A [[Biology:Molecular phylogenetics|molecular phylogenetic]] study in 2018 found that Anamini excluding Teylini was not [[Biology:Monophyly|monophyletic]], and so merged the former Teylini into Anamini, placing the tribe in the subfamily Anaminae of the family Nemesiidae.<ref name=HarvHillMainMoul18/> In 2020,  Opatova et al. raised the group to the rank of family, including all nine genera previously placed in the Anamini.<ref name=OpatHamiHediMont19/>

==Genera==
{{As of|2020|July}}, the ''[[Biology:World Spider Catalog|World Spider Catalog]]'' accepts the following genera.<ref name=WSC_gl136/> A 2018 molecular phylogenetic study divided them into four informal groups.<ref name=HarvHillMainMoul18/>
