List Of Homalonychidae Species
The Homalonychidae are a very small spider family with three described species in one genus, Homalonychus.
They do not build webs and are typically found under rocks or dead vegetation. At least the two North American species live in deserts, to which they are adapted by color and specialized setae which allow them to attach sand and fine soil to themselves. They also partially bury themselves.
