The first Lower Jurassic (Lias) spider is described as Seppo koponeni n. gen. & n. sp. from a single female specimen from Grimmen, Germany. It most likely belongs to the Palpimanoidea, on account of the presence of cheliceral peg teeth and other features consistent with palpimanoid families, though its familial placement is uncertain. Its presence in the region at that time concurs with ideas about the more widespread presence of palpimanoids across the world in the early Mesozoic, before the break-up of Pangaea.
首个下侏罗统(里阿斯统)蜘蛛被描述为来自德国格里门的一个单雌性标本的克氏塞波蛛新属及新种。由于存在螯牙钉状齿以及其他与触螯蛛科一致的特征,它很可能属于触螯蛛总科,尽管其科级归属尚不确定。它在当时该地区的出现与泛大陆解体之前中生代早期触螯蛛在全球更为广泛分布的观点相符。
