The coneweb spiders of the family Diguetidae are six-eyed haplogyne (lacking hardened female genitalia or epigyne) spiders that live in tangled space webs. They fashion a cone-like central retreat in which they hide and lay eggs. The family is small (two genera and only 15 species) and is confined to the New World where it is usually found in deserts. Members of the genus Diguetia usually build their webs in shrubs or between cactus pads.
