The spider family Liphistiidae comprises 5 genera and 87 species [1].
It is thought that the common ancestor of all spiders was orthognath, and that in the Opisthothelae, comprising of Mygalomorphae (mostly tarantulas) and Araneomorphae (all other spiders), only the Araneomorphae changed their alignment of chelicerae, while the mygalomorphs retained this symplesiomorph feature.

The study of spiders is known as arachnology.
Spiders, unlike insects, have only two tagmata instead of three; a fused head and thorax (called a cephalothorax or prosoma) and an abdomen (called the opisthosoma).
Except from some few species of very primitive spiders (Liphistiidae), the abdomen have lost its external segmentation.

Spiders usually have silk-spinning organs at the back end of the body which they use to spin silk to construct cocoons for eggs or traps and webs for prey.
A spider is any member of the arachnid order Araneae, an order divided into three sub-orders: the Mygalomorphae (primitive spiders), the Araneomorphae (modern spiders) and the Mesothelae, which contains the Family Liphistiidae, containing rarely seen burrowing spiders from Asia.
They eat other species of arthropods including mites, crustaceans, mice, skinks and even other spiders.
