Philodromidae is a family of spiders commonly known as philodromid crab spiders or running crab spiders. This family is superficially similar to the true crab spiders in the family Thomisidae.However studies have shown that these families are not as closely related as previously thought. Unlike thomisids philodromids tend to have few true setae (hairs or spines) on their bodies. They also lack the congruent eye tubercles of some thomisids.
