They are usually medium or large-sized, and they can stridulate by using small spines present on the chelicerae.

Males have a palpal bulb which ends in a long and slender blade like spine, females have one pair of spermatheca. The anterior eyes form almost a straight line. Their legs have a narrower scapulae at the tip of the metatarsus.
