Members of the subfamily Idiopinae are characterized, mostly, by having anterior lateral eyes projected up front, away from the oc…
Spiders belonging to infraorder Mygalomorphae, which include tarantulas, trapdoor spiders and funnel web spiders, are characterized by a morphological uniformity and marked lifestyles, which are the evolutionary reflex of a habit of life strongly sedentary, limited dispersion and low vagility, which can lead to a strong population genetic structuration. These characteristics make them exc…
