True Spiders have 93 families, within the Araneomorphae (Infraorder), are a part of 93% of the spider family. However, spiders such as tarantulas are not in the True Spider group due to fang alignment. In the true spider group, the fangs oppose each other and come together in a pinching matter. Whereas the tarantulas (Mygalomorphae) run parallel, aligning with its axis long wise.
