Do you mean Opisthothelae as a node below iNat's Order Araneae containing Suborder Mygalomorphae and Suborder Araneomorphae, but excluding Suborder Mesothelae?
Currently beneath Order Araneae there are 3 suborders
Suborder Araneomorphae
Suborder Mesothelae
Suborder Mygalomorphae
Because Suborder Araneomorphae has nearly 2 million downstream observations it would be very disruptive to add a node between it and Order Araneae so even if there were a compelling case (see dicots discussion) it would be a large resource intensive undertaking to do. This doesn't seem to be a particularly useful node for identifying purposes which is the main use case for adding nodes. Remember you can search on multiple nodes (e.g. Suborder Mygalomorphae + Suborder Araneomorphae) thusly:

iNat uses WSC as its spider reference but WSC doesn't include nodes between order and family so those are maintained in this deviation
