• TrigonotarbidaCompared with: Spiders lack the conspicuously segmented abdomen characteristic of trigonotarbids.

• AgelenidaeNarrower topic: Agelenids are one family within the order of spiders.

• Diving bell spiderNarrower topic: The diving bell spider is a spider with the order’s characteristic silk-producing anatomy.

• Huntsman spiderNarrower topic: Huntsman spiders belong to this broader group of silk-producing arachnids.

• MegarachneCompared with: Megarachne was initially described as a spider, but lacks the evidence supporting that classification.

• OpilionesCompared with: Spiders have distinct body regions and silk organs, unlike harvestmen.
