AMATEUR cave explorers have found a new family of spiders in southern Oregon that scientists have dubbed Trogloraptor, or cave robber, for its fearsome front claws. The spelunkers sent specimens to the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Entomologists there say the spider - the size of a half dollar - evolved so distinctly that it requires its own taxonomic family - the first new spider family from North America since 1870.
