Dipluridae

The Dipluridae are a family of spiders belonging to the suborder of Mygalomorphae.

Also known as funnel web tarantulas, they are characterized by not having a rastellum (closely spaced parallel ridges) on each of their chelicerae. Their carapace is characterized by the head region not being higher than the thoracic region. They have a thoracic groove that is a circular pit. Their anterior spinnerets (silk-extruding organs) are very much shorter than their posterior spinnerets, which have three segments of about equal length.
