CYATHOLIPIDAE Cyatholipids

Most Australian Cyatholipids are restricted to rainforest habitats, both temperate and tropical. One genus, Matilda, occurs in drier regions of mainland Australia. Most Cyatholipids are thought to construct horizontal sheet webs. Cyatholipids differ from all other spiders by the presence of a broad, slit-like posterior spiracle mid-way between the spinnerets and the epigastric fold.
