False Wolf Spiders
Zoropsidae Bertkau, 1882
Type genus: Zoropsis Simon, 1878
(after Raven & Stumkat 2005): Male Zoropsidae differ from those of Miturgidae in the dense scopula dorsally on the male pedipalp cymbium, pedal tibia with basal fracture, 4–5 pairs of strong spines on raised bases on tibiae I, II and a sclerotised plate on the anterior abdomen. Most female zoropsids have spigots dorsally on the posterior median spinnerets but all have strongly paired spines on raised bases on tibiae and metatarsi I, II.
