The spiders in the genus Textrix have a strongly recurved posterior row of eyes with the medial eyes larger than the lateral eyes. They have a narrow head which is distinct from the thorax. These spiders may resemble wolf spiders as they are often recorded running about in sunshine, but their long and segmented posterior spinners are very marked and identify them as funnel web weavers.[3]

gollark: You mean TLS? SSL is kind of outdated and 🐝 now.

gollark: Your defense is not actually going to be impenetrable most likely.
gollark: It's called "defense in depth".
