How To Distinguish Between The North American Familes:
In theory, once each Family has a different set of characteristics we have can make a key to Family
Also, I am trying to find only naked eye morphological characteristics to make this as useful as possible in the field
a) 11 SCOPULATE (adult(?) females are scopulate on tarsi I-II) (0=no taxa member is scopulate, 1=some members are scopulate, 2=all members are scopulate)
b) 8 THORACIC FOVEA (0=open pit (sometimes longitudinal), 1=transverse, 2=very wide, 3=closed and longitudinal)
c) 12 CLAW TUFTS (0=absent, 1=present, 2=both states in taxa)
d) 16 CAPUT (0=low, 1=elevated)
e) 17 RASTELLUM (0=absent, 1=present, 2=both states in taxa)
f) 18 LEG SIZE DIFFERS(0=anterior and posterior legs approximately same size/length, 1=anterior legs shorter and more slender than posterior)
Title: A taxonomic review of the trapdoor spider genus Myrmekiaphila (Araneae, Mygalomorphae, Cyrtaucheniidae) ; American Museum novitates, no. 3596

Abstract: "The mygalomorph spider genus Myrmekiaphila comprises 11 species known only from the southeastern United States. The type species, M. foliata Atkinson, is removed from the synonymy of M. fluviatilis (Hentz) and placed as a senior synonym of M. atkinsoni Simon. A neotype is designated for M. fluviatilis and males of the species are described for the first time. Aptostichus flavipes Petrunkevitch is transferred to Myrmekiaphila. Six new species are described: M. coreyi and M. minuta from Florida, M. neilyoungi from Alabama, M. jenkinsi from Tennessee and Kentucky, and M. millerae and M. howelli from Mississippi"--P. [1].
Description: 30 p. : ill. (some col.), maps ; 26 cm.

hi,
I made a small Google Earth file showing worldwide distribution of Dipluridae. There are also some sites in the USA marked.
The file can be downloaded here: http://dipluridae.de/Dipluridae.kmz (rightclick --> save as)
Have fun with it
BTW: I regularly update this file (as soon as I get new first descriptions)
