Zoropsidae

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.
