Archaeidae (Spider)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Archaeidae are a spider family with about 70 described species in four genera, as of October 2016. Commonly known as assassin spiders, they are also known as pelican spiders, stemming from their specialised anatomy: they have elongated chelicerae (jaws) and necks for catching other spiders.
