This article has been listed as a stub. Because of the nature of the category, the most informative content that can be provided is a list of the members of this group. I will add a drawing of the distinguishing feature of this group later.

I am removing a paragraph that relates to an entirely irrelevant Suborder. The Geolycosa is an example of the Araneomorphae, which is why it is listed here:
Phylum: ARTHROPODA
Class: ARACHNIDA
Order: Araneida
Suborder: Araneomorphae
Family: Lycosida
Genus: Geolycosa
The other spider, shown as a contrast, belongs to the Suborder Mygalomorphae.

That being said, I have a hard time to understand why Sphodros rufipes has its place in here too (as there's also the photograph in its respective suborder)... it seems these articles need overhauling.

Rewrite?
This article is in need of a rewrite, I think.
Most of it appears to be copy-pasted from another source, and obviously someone has removed or repositioned some pictures, because one section refers to images that aren't actually there.

OK, I understand that view, but Wikipedia is inconsistent in its treatment of Opisthothelae and its members. I'd have the thought that the consitency does matter. --

Since there's no rank between order and suborder, if araneomorphs are considered a suborder, Opisthothelae have no rank. To my mind the appropriate solution of the inconsistency depends on what version is more common in taxoboxes.

I see, thanks. Unfortunately, some articles treat Araneomorphae as a suborder and some as an infraorder of Opisthothelae. I've raised the issue for spider articles as a whole at
Talk:Spider#Taxonomy. What's there is about all I can do as a layman. Please would you have a look at it? --
