Family of spiders
Zoropsidae , also known as false wolf spiders for their physical similarity to wolf spiders , is a family of cribellate araneomorph spiders first described by Philipp Bertkau in 1882.[2] They can be distinguished from wolf spiders by their two rows of eyes that are more equal in size than those of Lycosidae.
The families Tengellidae and Zorocratidae are now included in Zoropsidae.[3]
