Family CORINNIDAE Karsch, 1880
Introduction
In Australia, the corinnids include three groups: the panpacific tramp species Creugas gulosus, the highly sclerotised rainforest species of Oedignathinae, which also include a tramp in Oedignatha scrobiculata and in the ant-mimicking (and ant-hunting) subfamily Castianierinae. The corinnids are a very diverse group, probably numbering around 130 species, most of which are undescribed.
Diagnosis
Corinnidae are recognised by the following: 2 claws only; dense true claw tufts; 8 eyes of similar size and from above in 2 weakly curved rows, with posterior median eyes circular; cheliceral fangs transverse; maxillae not strongly laterally narrowed at their mid-point; trochanters not or weakly notched; abdomen scutes present or absent; and the tracheal spiracle near spinnerets; posterior median spinnerets of females with three enlarged spigots.
