Liphistius is a genus of basal trapdoor spiders. It is the only genus in the subfamily Liphistiinae, one of the two subfamilies in the family Liphistiidae, which is the only family in the suborder Mesothelae. Species of Liphistius are found in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia.
==Taxonomy== The genus Liphistius was erected by Jørgen M. C. Schiødte in 1849. Schiødte spelt the name Lipistius; this was corrected to Liphistius by Tamerlan Thorell in 1869, a change endorsed by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature in 1970. Liphistius is from Greek , ('lack') and , ('web' in this context).
