Molycria burwelli is a spider in the family Prodidomidae, a group of spiders that are called Long-spinneret Ground Spiders. They were formerly a subfamily of Gnaphosidae, but have been elevated to a family in 2022.
The spiders in this family are identified by the elongated base of the piriform gland spigots. The piriform gland spigots are the silk-spinning tubes found in spiders, that connect to the pyriform glands. These are the glands that secrete silk.
