How did this spider give its name to animals before anyone knew it existed? Hyacinth (talk) 01:19, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The family name is taken from the genus name, thus the genus gave its name to the family.-- Kev min  § 01:40, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * According to the article it is the sole genus in the family. Hyacinth (talk) 02:36, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * "Trogloraptor &hellip; is the sole genus in the family Trogloraptoridae, and includes only one species"
 * How is it interesting that the family was named after its only member?&ensp;Why contrast recently discovered with ancient family?&ensp;The spiders may well have been distinct from others for 130 million years, but the family isn't ancient – it was created after the discovery.
 * A new genus has been discovered and placed in a new family because it doesn't fit any existing family. Ζετα ζ (talk) 02:48, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * A newly described species/genus/family for a group of spiders (possibly more then one species) that the researchers noted to be ancient.-- Kev min  § 06:51, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Then what does this have to do with troglobites? Hyacinth (talk) 03:35, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Trogloraptor is possibly a troglobite by virtue of its habitat (caves): This is not part of its Biological_classification.Ζετα ζ (talk) 05:37, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * As noted, the genus, and as a result, the monotypic family are Cave-dwellers, and thus considered troglobites (a general term from small cave dwelling animals).-- Kev min  § 06:51, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
