Halonoproctidae
Halonoproctidae is a Family (biology), family of Mygalomorphae, mygalomorph spiders, split off from the family Ctenizidae in 2018. Species in the family are widely distributed in North and Central America, Australasia, Asia, southern Europe and North Africa. One species is recorded from Venezuela in South America. They are relatively large, sombrely coloured spiders, that live in burrows with some kind of trapdoor. Description Spiders of the family Halonoproctidae are of a medium to large size for spiders. They construct burrows with some kind of trapdoor, either wafer-like or cork-like. They range in colour from light brown to black, usually without any strongly distinctive body markings. The Glossary of spider terms#carapace, carapace is usually without hairs and has only a few spines. The Glossary of spider terms#sternum, sternum is longer than it is wide, and has Glossary of spider terms#sigillum, sigillae at least in the posterior part. The eyes are arranged in two or three r ...

Latouchia
''Latouchia'' is a genus of Asian mygalomorph spiders in the family Halonoproctidae, first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1901. The genus is presumably named in honour of John David Digues La Touche (who is named as "J. de La Touche" alongside "C. B. Rickett") as co-collector of the first described species '' Latouchia fossoria''. Originally placed with the family Ctenizidae, the genus was moved to the Halonoproctidae in 2018.

Cyclocosmia
''Cyclocosmia'' is a genus of mygalomorph trapdoor spiders in the family Halonoproctidae, first described by Anton Ausserer in 1871. Originally placed with the Ctenizidae, when the family split in 2018, this genus was placed with the Halonoproctidae as the type genus. The name is derived from the Greek "kyklos" (), meaning "circle", and "kosmeo" (), meaning "to adorn". Description These are trapdoor spiders, whose species are distinguished from each other by the pattern of the abdominal disk, the number of hairs on its seam, and the shape of the spermathecae. They have abdomens that are abruptly truncated, ending in a hardened disc that is strengthened by a system of ribs and grooves. They use this to clog the entrance of their burrows when threatened, a phenomenon called phragmosis. The disks have strong spines around the edge, and they each have four spinnerets just anterior to it. The posterior, retractable spinnerets are particularly large. ''C. ricketti'' females are l ...

Ctenizidae
Ctenizidae ( ) is a small family of mygalomorph spiders that construct burrows with a cork-like trapdoor made of soil, vegetation, and silk. They may be called trapdoor spiders, as are other, similar species, such as those of the families Liphistiidae, Barychelidae, and Cyrtaucheniidae, and some species in the Idiopidae and Nemesiidae. The name comes from the distinctive behavior of the spiders to construct trapdoors, and ambush prey from beneath them. In 2018, the family Halonoproctidae was split off from the Ctenizidae. A further genus, '' Stasimopus'', was split off into its own family, Stasimopidae, in 2020. The family currently consists of two genera and five species. Etymology The name derives from Greek ''ktenizein'', meaning "combing" or "cleaning", referring to their behaviour of cleaning continuously, and the suffix "-idae", which designates belonging to a family. Taxonomy The family Ctenizidae was first described by Thorell in 1887, being based on the genu ...

Bothriocyrtum
''Bothriocyrtum'' is a genus of mygalomorph spiders in the family Halonoproctidae, first described by Eugène Simon in 1891. They are native to Mexico, Taiwan, and the southern United States. It was separated from '' Cyrtocarenum'' in 1891 for several reasons, including an increased width of separation and a distinctly different arrangement of the eyes. it contains only three species: ''B. californicum'', ''B. fabrile'', and ''B. tractabile''.

Bothriocyrtum Californicum
''Bothriocyrtum californicum'', the California trapdoor spider, is a species of spider in the family Halonoproctidae. It is found in the United States. Males are smaller than females. Predators include the spider wasp '' Psorthaspis planata'', which use their bodies as larval nurseries, and skunks Skunks are mammals in the family Mephitidae. They are known for their ability to spray a liquid with a strong, unpleasant scent from their anal glands. Different species of skunk vary in appearance from black-and-white to brown, cream or gin ..., which dig up their burrows.

Mygalomorphae
The Mygalomorphae, or mygalomorphs, are an infraorder of spiders, and comprise one of three major groups of living spiders with over 3,000 species, found on all continents except Antarctica. Many members are known as trapdoor spiders due to their creation of trapdoors over their burrows. Other prominent groups include Australian funnel web spiders and tarantulas, with the latter accounting for around one third of all mygalomorphs. Description This group of spiders comprises mostly heavy-bodied, stout-legged spiders including tarantulas, Australian funnel-web spiders, mouse spiders, and various families of spiders commonly called trapdoor spiders. Like the " primitive" suborder of spiders Mesothelae, they have two pairs of book lungs, and downward-pointing chelicerae. Because of this, the two groups were once believed to be closely related. Later it was realised that the common ancestors of all spiders had these features (a state known as symplesiomorphy). Following the ...
