This large Class of arthropods includes over 60,000 described species (and most likely a very large number of so-far undescribed ones). Spiders make up the majority of these (over 50,000 The Arachnida also includes a diverse array of smaller groups, ... Arachnids have a pair of tagmata called a prosoma and opisthosoma.
