Encyclopedia : O : OE : OEC : Oecobiidae



 

The spider family Oecobiidae (also called Disc web spiders) consists of about 100 species.

They are rather small (about 2mm); some of them build tiny webs close to the ceiling in people's homes. The first two pairs of legs point forward then curve backwards.

The species Oecobium navus occurs around the world.

While the genus Oecobius is cribellate, the genus Uroctea'' is ecribellate.
