Trachelidae is a family of araneomorph spiders.
Taxonomy
The taxon was originally described as a subfamily by Eugène Simon in 1897 (called Tracheleae in his terminology, Trachelinae in modern terminology). It has been placed in the families Clubionidae and then Corinnidae when the Clubionidae were split up. An analysis by Martín J. Ramírez in 2014 suggested that it was not closely related to other members of the Corinnidae, and was better treated as a separate family.[3]
