There is a good article here: https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/4926/list/9/ it includes a download button for the excellent photograph. Perhaps there is copyright info somewhere, but I can't find it. It would be good if someone has the time to track down the copyright owner and get permission to copy it to Wikipedia Commons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.148.132.121 (talk) 22:27, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Separation of Liphistiidae and Heptathelidae
[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liphistiidae&oldid=1216584239 This version] of the article was about the broad circumscription of the family, which then included Heptathelidae as the subfamily Heptathelinae. The World Spider Catalog now accepts two separate families, so I have attempted to rewrite the article accordingly, i.e. discussing only the narrow circumscription, equivalent to subfamily Liphistiinae in the broad circumscription.

One issue is that the family is then monogeneric, the sole genus being Liphistius. This would normally mean that the genus and family would be dealt with in the same article, as per WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA. However, because the broad circumscription is found in quite a bit of the literature, and was used by the World Spider Catalog until a few years ago, I think it's better to keep two articles, so that the taxonomy of the family can be discussed more fully – it's not relevant to the genus.

But I'm open to alternative views. Peter coxhead (talk) 18:49, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
