'''Atracidae''' is a [[Family (biology)|family]] of [[Mygalomorphae|mygalomorph]] [[spider]]s, commonly known as '''Australian funnel-web spiders''' or '''atracids'''. It has been included as a subfamily of the [[Hexathelidae]], but is now recognised as a separate family.<ref name=WSC_f124/> All members of the family are native to [[Australia]].<ref name=WSC_f124/><ref name=ausmus>{{cite journal|last=Gray|first=Michael R.|title=A revision of the Australian funnel-web spiders (Hexathelidae: Atracinae)|journal=Records of the Australian Museum|date=24 November 2010|volume=62|issue=3|pages=285–392|doi=10.3853/j.0067-1975.62.2010.1556|issn=0067-1975|doi-access=free}}</ref> Atracidae consists of three genera: ''[[Atrax]]'', ''[[Hadronyche]]'', and ''[[Illawarra wisharti|Illawarra]]'', comprising 35 species.<ref name=WSC_f124/> Some members of the family produce [[venom]] that is dangerous to humans, and bites by spiders of six of the species have caused severe injuries to victims. The bites of the [[Sydney funnel-web spider]] (''Atrax robustus'') and northern tree-dwelling funnel-web spider (''[[Hadronyche formidabilis]]'') are potentially deadly, but no fatalities have occurred since the introduction of modern first-aid techniques and [[antivenom]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Funnel-web Spiders|url=http://australianmuseum.net.au/Funnel-web-Spiders-Group|work=[[Australian Museum]]|access-date=24 January 2012|location=Sydney}}</ref>
