Austrodecidae is a family of sea spiders. Austrodecids tend to be small measuring only 1–2 mm, characterized by an annulated proboscis with vertical slit-like mouth opening.[1] It is the most basal family of the order Pantopoda, representing a lineage (Stiripasterida) sister to all other pantopod families (Eupantopodida).[2]
