Description Members of this family look superficially like the Wolf Spiders, and like most Wolf Spiders, are ground-dwelling hunters.
They can, however, be separated from Wolf Spiders by their eye arrangement. The eyes are arranged in three rows: two small eyes (anterior median eyes) in front, a pair of small anterior lateral and a larger pair of posterior median eyes in the middle, and a pair of large posterior lateral eyes behind.

The first two pairs of legs are armed with a double series of spines. Unlike Wolf Spiders, these spiders have only two claws at the tip of each leg.
