Euctenizidae

Euctenizidae (olim subfamilia Euctenizinae Cyrtaucheniidarum) sunt familia aranearum subordinis Mygalomorpharum, nunc familiae Idiopidarum arte conexa late habita.

Biologia
Multae, sed non omnes, in eorum cuniculis ostia sicut vafla faciunt, cum alii ostia sicut emboli construunt, per rationem usitate in Ctenizidis aliisque araneis quae laqueos faciunt visam. Biologia paene omnium specierum ignota manet.

Distributio
Familia paene omnino in Civitatibus Foedetatis et Mexico reperitur. Inter communia genera Americana sunt Myrmekiaphila, Aptostichus, et Promyrmekiaphila.
