Leptonetidae
Leptonetidae is a relatively primitive family of spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1890.[1] It is made up of tiny haplogyne spiders, meaning they lack the hardened external female genitalia. Their six eyes are arranged in a semicircle of four in front and two behind. Many live in caves or in leaf litter around the Mediterranean, and in Eurasia, Japan and southern North America.[2]
