abstract = {Nineteen new characters pertinent to the phylogeny of the spider suborder Araneomorphae are reviewed and tested against a previous data set, using quantitative cladistic techniques. An hypothesis of cladistic structure within Araneomorphae in the form of a quantitatively analysed cladogram is presented for the first time. The analysis supports orb weaving spiders (Orbiculariae: Deinopoidea and Araneoidea) as a monophyletic group (apparently sister to Dictynoidea) and Linyphiidae as an araneoid family. Likely precursors of orbs are discussed, as are relevant fossil evidence and possible times of origin}
