(zoology) Any member of the Hypochilidae (the lampshade spiders)..
Dr. Gertsch advised us that scorpions are remote relatives of spiders — no closer than a wasp is to a snout beetle — and that the rare ancient spider he nabbed was a hypochilid, dating back two hundred and fifty million years to the Carboniferous Age.
Their four booklungs linked these hypochilids with primitive mygalomorphs.
The cribellar fibrils of the 12 hypochilid species are cylindrical with a diameter of about 25 nm, whereas fibrils of all other cribellate species, except members of the family Filistatidae, have regularly spaced, swollen nodes that have a diameter of about 35 nm.
