Running Crab Spiders
Philodromidae
(after Framenau et al. 2014): The Running Crab Spiders (family Philodromidae) superficially resemble the Crab Spiders (family Thomisidae) and these were for a long time believed to represent the closest relatives. However, Running Crab Spiders are more closely related to the Sac Spiders (Clubionidae) and Ground Spiders (Gnaphosidae) and allies, whereas the Crab Spiders are more closely related to the Wolf Spiders and allies (superfamily Lycosoidea).
Philodromids have eight eyes in two strongly recurved rows; the anterior and posterior median eyes forming a square.
