The Mygalomorphae, or mygalomorphs, are an infraorder of spiders, and comprise one of three major groups of living spiders with over 3,000 species, found on all continents except Antarctica. Many members are known as trapdoor spiders due to …

Mygalomorphae - Taxonomic Orthognatha The mygalomorphs are among the most "primitive" of the spiders, and include the trapdoor spiders (Ctenizidae), funnel web tarantulas (Dipluridae) and tarantulas or bird spiders (Theraphosidae).

The Mygalomorphae or mygalomorphs are an infraorder of spiders. The name is derived from the Greek mugalē, meaning 'shrew', plus morphē meaning form or shape. An older name for the group is Orthognatha, derived from the orientation of the fangs which point straight down and do not cross each other (as they do in the araneomorphs).

Mygalomorphae are notoriously long-lived, sometimes attaining an age of 25 years or more. Desert wolf spiders, Zodariidae and Sparassidae have life histories of at least 2 years, unlike many of their relatives in less harsh environments, are able to fast for long periods and seal themselves up in their retreats ( Main, 1976 ).

2017年11月4日 · Mygalomorphae is an ancient lineage, considered the sister group of a more highly diverse and better known group of spiders, the Araneomorphae. Mygalomorphae retain several features considered primitive for spiders, such as two pairs of book lungs, paraxial chelicerae, simple silk spigots, and biomechanically weak silk (Bond et al. 2012 ...
