Psechridae is a family of araneomorph spiders with about 60 species in two genera. These are among the biggest cribellate spiders with body lengths up to and funnel webs more than in diameter.
The family belongs to the RTA clade of spiders because they all have a Retrolateral Tibial Apophysis on the male pedipalp. A recent phylogenetic analysis places Psechridae as close relatives of the lynx spiders, wolf spiders, and nursery web spiders.
