Families more recently recognized have been added.
Families no longer recognized have been removed.
More families now have 1,000+ species and so are in bold.
No recent reliable source gives superfamily placements; phylogenetic studies have led to new families and families being shown to be unrelated that were formerly thought to be close, so the old superfamilies are out-of-date and have been removed. Family order is alphabetic within the top level clades.
The families and numbers of species >1,000 are based on the World Spider Catalog version 16.5;[1] placement in clades is based on Coddington (2005).[2]Peter coxhead (talk) 17:39, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-10-06T17:39:00.000Z","author":"Peter coxhead","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Peter_coxhead-2015-10-06T17:39:00.000Z-Update_to_template","replies":[]}}-->
