The Liphistiidae are the most primitive living spiders, placed in their own suborder, called the Mesothelae.
Unlike Araneomorphae, which die after about a year, Mygalomorphae can live for up to 25 years, and some don't reach maturity until they are about six years old.

 Araneomorphae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They are distinguished by having chelicerae that point diagonally forward and cross in a pinching action, in contrast to the Mygalomorphae (tarantulas and their close kin), where they point straight down.
Note the difference in the orientations of the chelicerae (fangs) of the two spiders below, representatives of the Orthognatha and the Araneomorphae.
This alignment of the chelicerae is typical of the Araneomorphae.

The oldest mygalomorph, Rosamygale, was described from the Triassic of France (Selden and Gall 1992).
This occurrence of a mygalomorph in the Triassic period predicted the presence of their sister group, Araneomorphae, in strata of similar age, and were subsequently found in Triassic rocks of South Africa and Virginia (Selden et al.

In North America, the spiders in the infraorder Araneomorphae include the true spiders.
Some of the most familiar include: orb weavers, crab spiders, wolf spiders, huntsmen spiders, violin spiders and jumping spiders.
The infraorder Araneomorphae is subdivided into ninety four (94) families.

Most spiders that we know today (Araneomorphae) have only 6 spinnerets, one pair first became transformed into a flat specialised spinning plate (cribellum) and was later reduced (to a colulus) or lost.
However, the Tarantulas, Trapdoor spiders, and Funnelweb spiders (at least to Australians) belong to a group of spiders known as the Mygalomorphae.
Their big back eyes "shine" or reflect light when a torch light is held close to your eyes and pointed at the spider.

 The Evolution of Web Usage in Spiders
The order Araneae (spiders) is traditionally divided into three divisions; the Mesothelae (also known as the Liphistomorpha), the Mygalomorphae, tarantulas and relatives (also called the Orthognatha or the Theraphosomorphae) and the Araneomorphae, the rest of the spiders (also known as the Labidognatha).
There are about 1,000 species in the Mygalomorphae, (only one in the UK) and over 36,500 species in the Araneomorphae of which more than 600 can be found in the UK.

 Detailed information about Spider   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Spiders belong to the Long-jawed orb weaver, Family: Aranaedae.
All spiders Suborder Araneomorphae produce silk, even those Filistatidae (crevice weavers) which do not spin elaborate Zoropsidae traps with them.
Silk can be Eresidae (velvet spiders) used to aid in climbing, Dictynidae (leg fringe tangle web) forming smooth walls for Uroboridae (sector web spiders) burrows, coccooning prey, Amaurobiidae (tangled nest spiders) and for many other Dysderidae (woodlouse hunter) applications.

See the Spider#Taxonomytaxonomy section for families Spiders are invertebrate animals that produce spider silksilk, have eight legs and no wings.
More precisely, a spider is any member of the arachnid order (biology)order Araneae, an order divided into three sub-orders in newer systems: the Mygalomorphae (the primitive spiders), the Araneomorphae (the modern spiders) and the Mesothelae, which contains the Family Liphistiidae, rarely seen burrowing spiders from Asia.
The study of spiders is known as arachnology, although it is often included in the more general term entomology.
