Zoropsidae is a family of uncommon, somewhat wolf spider-like, wandering, cribellate spiders. They are also called false wolf spiders, because of their similarities to wolf spiders. The eye arrangement is not like that of wolf spiders as the eyes are in two rows and are more equal in size. They include about 180 species in 25 genera. One species, Zoropsis spinimana, was accidentally introduced to the United States.
The family Tengellidae is now included in Zoropsidae.[2][3]
