on this view, the "deinopoidea" are not monophyletic, and certainly do not form a clade with the araneoidea. orb webs evolved earlier, being present in the early entelegynes, and were then lost in more groups, making web evolution more convoluted, with different kinds of non-orb web having evolved separately more than once. although some authors have said that current evidence does not allow a definitive choice between these two hypotheses, others consider that "the long-held paradigm of orbicularian monophyly" has been refuted. further studies have supported this view, or taken it for granted.
