Idiopidae
Idiopidae, also known as armored or spiny trapdoor spiders, is a family of mygalomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon Eugène Louis Simon (; 30 April 1848 – 17 November 1924) was a French naturalist who worked particularly on insects and spiders, but also on birds and plants. He is by far the most prolific spider Taxonomy (biology), taxonomist in history, ... in 1889. Behaviour Idiopidae build burrows, and some species close these with a trapdoor lined with silk. ''Prothemenops siamensis'' from Thailand, which is about 2 cm long, builds its retreat in a streamside vertical earth bank in lower montane rainforest. Each burrow has two or three entrances that lead into a main tube. The trapdoor is a form of safety and ways of ambushing prey. Idiopidae adapt and live in many various environments as seen by the map on the far right, which leads to the various species to co-exist with other Idiopidae and other spiders outside of the family. Idiopidae are not po ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Gaius (spider)
''Gaius'' is a genus of large mygalomorph spiders in the family Idiopidae. Erected in 1914 by William Joseph Rainbow, for much of its history the genus contained only one species, ''Gaius villosus''. More species were added in 2018. All are endemic to Western Australia. Description Species of ''Gaius'' are large spiders, usually dark brown or black. Females have a body length of around , males around . The carapace has a dense fringe of hairs (setae) along the sides. The abdomen is oval, densely covered with hairs. Males have pedipalps with a retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA), which in most species is large and long. Females have a pair of simple, widely spaced spermathecae. Taxonomy The genus ''Gaius'' was erected by William Joseph Rainbow in 1914 for his new species ''Gaius villosus''. In 1957, Barbara York Main transferred ''G. villosus'' (then still the only species of ''Gaius'') to the genus ''Anidiops'', noting the inadequacy of many characters used in mygalomorph ta ...

Idiops
file:PZSL1889Plate02, Idiops crassus.png, ''Idiops crassus'' and its trapdoor nest entrance ''Idiops'' is a genus of Idiopidae, armored trapdoor spiders that was first described by Maximilian Perty, Josef Anton Maximilian Perty in 1833. It is the type genus of the spurred trapdoor spiders, Idiopidae. ''Idiops'' is also the most species-rich genus of the family, and is found at widely separated locations in the Neotropical realm, Neotropics, Afrotropical realm, Afrotropics, Indomalayan realm, Indomalaya and the Middle East. Females live in tubular burrows lined with a thick layer of white silk. These typically have a D-shaped lid that fits into the entrance like a cork, and some burrows have two entrances. The lid may consist of mud, moss or lichen, which is bound below by a thick layer of silk. As in all genera of this family, the anterior lateral eyes (ALE) are situated near the clypeal margin, far in front of the remaining six eyes, which are arranged in a tight group. The males w ...
