Araneida

Araneida is a suborder for the order Araneae, suggested by Wunderlich in 2015. It includes all modern spiders, and excludes Uraraneida (which is in the proposition considered a suborder as well).[1]

Araneida
Scientific classification

Wunderlich, 2015[1]

Other sources consider Uraraneida to be a separate order,[2] and divide Araneae into the suborders Mesothelae and Opisthothelae.[3]
