'''Amaurobiidae''' is a family of spiders also known as "tangled nest [[spider]]s", "night spiders" or "hacklemesh weavers".
These [[cribellate]] spiders of medium size look similar to the related [[Agelenidae]], but have shorter legs and much smaller [[spinneret]]s.
Their nets have roughly the form of a funnel.
