'''Anamidae''' is a family of Australian mygalomorph spiders. It was first described as a tribe by Simon in 1889, then raised to the subfamily Anaminae of the family Nemesiidae, before being raised to a family level by Opatova et al. in 2020.<ref name="wsc" /><ref name=OpatHamiHediMont19/>
==Distribution== All members of the family are endemic to Australia.<ref name=HarvHillMainMoul18/>
==Taxonomy== The tribe Anamini was first described by Eugène Simon in 1899.<ref name=HarvHillMainMoul18/> In 1982, Barbara York Main distinguished the tribe Teylini from the tribe Anamini by technical differences, including a narrow band of cuspules on the maxillae and the absence of a spine-bearing spur on the first tibia of males (except in ''Teyloides'').<ref name=Main04/> A molecular phylogenetic study in 2018 found that Anamini excluding Teylini was not monophyletic, and so merged the former Teylini into Anamini, placing the tribe in the subfamily Anaminae of the family Nemesiidae.<ref name=HarvHillMainMoul18/> In 2020, Opatova et al. raised the group to the rank of family, including all nine genera previously placed in the Anamini.<ref name=OpatHamiHediMont19/>
==Genera== {{as of|2026|1}}, this family includes ten genera and 206 species.<ref name="wsc" /> A 2018 molecular phylogenetic study divided them into four informal groups.<ref name=HarvHillMainMoul18/>
