Diversity
7 families, c. 2,700 species

The Gnaphosoidea are a superfamily of araneomorph, mostly eight-eyed spiders, with seven families:

The Prodidomidae, Lamponidae and Gnaphosidae are considered "higher gnaphosoids", sharing anterior lateral spinnerets consisting of only a single article; the lower gnaphosoids (Ammoxenidae, Cithaeronidae, Gallieniellidae and Trochanteriidae) retain a separate, complete distal article that is represented by an entire, subdistal ring of sclerotized cuticle.^[1]
