Antrodiaetus unicolor
folding-door spider, collared spider
Antrodiaetus unicolor is a mygalomorph spider in the family Antrodiaetidae, historically considered a single widespread species but now recognized as a species complex containing multiple cryptic species. These spiders construct silk-lined burrows with folding doors rather than the hinged trapdoors of related families. Research using genomic-scale data has revealed substantial hidden diversity within this morphologically conserved group, particularly in the southern Appalachian Mountains.
