Diversity
2 genera, 86 species [1]

Pimoidae is a small family of araneomorph spiders first described by Jörg Wunderlich in 1986.[2] As re-circumscribed in 2021, it is monophyletic,[1] and contained 86 species in two genera.[3] It is closely related to the Linyphiidae,[1] [4] and is sometimes treated as synonymous with that family.[5]

The species Pimoa cthulhu , described by Gustavo Hormiga in 1994, is named for Howard Phillips Lovecraft's mythological deity Cthulhu.[4]

Distribution

[edit ]

The ancestors of the family are thought to have been widely distributed across the Palearctic, Nearctic and Sino-Japanese regions, but species now have a more fragmented distribution.[1]
