Idiopidae are a mygalomorph spider family,[1] also known as the armored trapdoor spiders.[2] They have a large body that often looks rather like a tarantula.
Description
In some species the males have a spur on their legs, which they will show if provoked.[3]
Idiopidae build burrows, and some species close these with a door.
The about 2 cm long Prothemenops siamensis from Thailand builds its retreat in a streamside vertical earth bank in lower montane rain forest. Each burrow had two or three entrances that lead into a main tube. Its lateral posterior spinnerets are elongated.[4]
The oldest known idiopida died at the age of 43 years.[5]
