Diagnosis
Dipluridae can be destinguished from Hexathelidae and Nemesiidae by their flat caput and the elongate and widely spaced posterior median spinnerets. They furthermore differ from Hexathelidae by the abscence of cuspules on labium (if cuspules are present then only a few) and from Mecicobothriidae by the abscence of a scutum on dorsal opisthosoma.
Description
Carapace very low and hirsute. Four spinnerets; posterior median spinnerets widely spaced; posterior lateral spinnerets elongate. Maxillary serrula present and distinct. Three claws on tarsi of legs with numerous teeth on paired claws.
