Family GALLIENIELLIDAE Millot, 1947
Introduction
Only recently recognised, the family was first described from Madagascar and then found to be quite diverse in Australia. They are small, long legged spiders that hunt in the litter and are difficult to correctly distinguish from other gnaphosoids without a microscope.However, the long thin chelicerae bearing fangs that act downward (paraxial), as in the Funnelwebs, are unusual.
Diagnosis
Gnaphosoids in which the fangs lie longitudinally and the chelicerae are porrect.
