Family LIOCRANIDAE Simon, 1897

Introduction

The Liocranidae are considered a polyphyletic group and hence their relationships and constitution are in dispute. The diverse, but presently aspeciose, genus Orthobula may be confused with the corinnid Oedignathinae, but differs in that the back eye row is recurved and the posterior median eyes are oval.
