Wikispecies has information related to:
The oonopid spiders (family Oonopidae) include about 450 six-eyed species in about 65 genera worldwide. They are generally tiny (1-3 mm) haplogyne araneomorph spiders. Some have hardened plates (scuta) on their abdomens. They often resemble mites, because of their small size and the fact that many species are reddish. These spiders are seldomly seen by people as they are too small to be easily noticed. Generally, oonopid spiders are found under rocks and in leaf litter.
