Summary: | FIGURE 3 Latitudinal distribution of currently valid species of Pholcidae. Numbers of Pholci- dae species (x-axis) known from different latitudes (y-axis; N, north; S, south), with the land mass distribution shown in grey (from www.ecoclimax.com; excluding Antarctica). Pholcidae species richness is slightly shifted towards the north, possibly as a result of the unbalanced land masses and/or taxonomists' biases, but most diversity is in tropical regions.
