Liphistiidae is currently the only recognized extant family of the suborder Mesothelae in the Araneae and the most basal lineage of all existing spiders(Wheeler et al.,2017).Two subfamilies,Heptathelinae Kishida,1923 and Liphistiinae Thorell,1869,are recognized in this family with the latter containing the single genus Liphistius Schiodte,1849(Xu et al.,2015).Spiders of the genus Liphistius live in burrows with signal lines radiating from the entrance and a trapdoor made of soil particles and silk.Their burrows have been found in various habitats,such as road cuts,rocks or decaying wood in forests,caves and sea shore(Schwendinger,2017;Schwendinger et al.,2019;Ono&Aung,2020).
