Miturgidae is a
family of
araneomorph spiders that includes nearly 170
species in 29
genera worldwide.[1] First described by
Eugène Simon in 1886,[2] it has been substantially revised, and includes the previous family Zoridae as a synonym,[3] and excludes the family
Xenoctenidae.[4] Several genera have also been removed, such as the large genus Cheiracanthium, which was transferred to the
Cheiracanthiidae.[5]
