Ricinulei

The order Ricinulei is a group of arachnids known as hooded tickspiders, though they are not true spiders. Like most arachnids, they are predatory, eating small arthropods. In older works they are sometimes referred to as Podogona.

, 58 extant species of ricinuleids have been described worldwide, all in the single family Ricinoididae. They occur today in west-central Africa ( Ricinoides) and the Neotropical region ( Cryptocellus and Pseudocellus). In addition to the three living genera, there are two families and four genera containing fossil species.
