Until recently Zoridae was its own family, sometimes called Wandering Ghost Spiders. The spiders In this group have been moved into Miturgidae in the subfamily Zorinae. Most former Zorids (Now Zorinines) superficially resemble Wolf Spiders, Pisaurids, or Ctenids. The subfamily is distinguished by the eye arrangement (4,2,2 from above) and long spiny hairs on their legs. Their legs tend to be somewhat longer and more tapered than wolf spiders and they do not two pairs of enlarged pair of eyes as wolf spiders do whose eyepattern is 2,2, then 4 (straight or downcurved small eyes) if looking forward from above. Some species have distinctive longitudinal markings on their upper surfaces. They do not build a burrow in the ground, having a web attached to a silken retreat among green leaves. They are mostly found in the Southern Hemisphere with the genus Zora being a notable exception. They are related to Ctenidae. Australia has most of the world's genera and many new species are being described.
