Antrodiaetus hageni

(Chamberlin, 1917)

Antrodiaetus hageni is a of folding-door in the Antrodiaetidae, first described by Chamberlin in 1917. It belongs to the infraorder Mygalomorphae, a group of spiders characterized by downward-directed and relatively body plans. The species is known from the United States, though detailed information remains limited in published sources.

Taxonomic history

Originally described as Brachybothrium hageni by Chamberlin in 1917, later transferred to the Antrodiaetus. The basionym reflects early 20th-century mygalomorph that has since been revised.

Research context

The Antrodiaetus has been subject to modern delimitation studies using integrative approaches combining molecular data (RADseq, COI, 28S markers), structure analysis, and modeling. These methods have revealed cryptic diversity within related , suggesting that morphologically similar Antrodiaetus species may represent distinct evolutionary lineages.
