Cyatholipidae

Cyatholipidae is a family of spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1894.[1] Most live in moist montane forest, though several species, including Scharffia rossi, live in dry savannah regions. They occur in Africa, including Madagascar,[2] New Zealand and Australia, and one species (Pokennips dentipes) in Jamaica.[3] Most members of this family hang beneath sheet webs. Fossil species occur in the Eocene aged Bitterfield and Baltic Ambers, suggesting a wider geographic distribution in the past.

gollark: What laptop only has 2GB of storage on it?
gollark: It's far below average site size, but I don't know how or why.
gollark: Your thing pulls in an entire Lua VM for about five lines of JS, soooo...
gollark: I think a big reason for inefficiency is that some sites seem obsessed with shipping big images with their content even when it's not meaningful or helpful.
gollark: I've designed my website to be very lightweight, though, so it's reasonably good for people on slow connections and loads very fast.
