Rookactidae
Rookactidae is a small family of spiders in the order Araneae. Described in the 21st century, it was defined by distinctive morphological traits and supported by molecular data, though its status remains disputed in some classifications. The family is generally accepted to comprise two genera and several described species, most of which occur in forest floor habitats.
Members are small to medium-sized (roughly 4–9 mm in body length) with eight eyes arranged in two
Ecology and behavior: They are primarily ground-dwellers and nocturnal ambush predators, often relying on leaf litter
Distribution and habitat: Descriptions so far come from temperate forests of North America and parts of Eurasia.
Taxonomic status: As a recently described and debated lineage, Rookactidae is the subject of ongoing phylogenetic
