Paratropididae
Paratropididae, also known as baldlegged spiders, is a small family of mygalomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1889.[1] They are more closely related to tarantulas and allies, than to most other 'true' spiders (araneomorphs).

gollark: The only message on 19 December is> 6K+ already?!?which seems pretty innocuous, so I'm assuming you're talking about the 20 December one about the (not implemented yet) restricted thing channels and will chalk this down to... time zones, or something.I'd kind of expect you to have said something in the intervening four months if this was a problem for you.
gollark: I mean, you're incoherently rambling about some rights violation and facism, so eh.
gollark: See, you're talking about it as if something happened *recently*, and whatever that is is 4 months ago.
gollark: Oh, I'll go check that.
gollark: Because that's... an optional competition... seriously what are you on about?
