''Huttonia palpimanoides'' is a spider in its own genus, Huttonia, and its own family, Huttoniidae. The species is endemic to New Zealand. Fossils of this class have been found from Cretaceous (Campanian) amber from Alberta and Manitoba, Canada, extending the known geological age of the Huttoniidae back about 80 million years, and supporting the theory of ''H. palpimanoides'' being an ousted relict species (Penney & Selden, 2006). They are probably closely related to the fossil spider family Spatiatoridae. The family was divided from the Zodariidae family in 1984, by Forster & Platnick. Although only one species is described, there are about 20 more undescribed species, all from New Zealand (Forster & Forster, 1999). The silk of this species is ecribellate (Griswold ''et al.'' 1999). ==References== * Forster, R.R. & Platnick, N.I. (1984).
