The Liphistiidae are the most primitive living spiders, placed in their own suborder, called the Mesothelae. They are characterized by their downward pointing, daggerlike chelicerae, and by having a segmented series of plates on the upper surface of their abdomens. At least some of them live in comparatively primitive trapdoor shelters.
