The Angelina Jolie trapdoor spider (Aptostichus angelinajolieae often misspelled angelinajoleae) is a species of Euctenizidae nocturnal arthropods who seize their prey after leaping out of their burrows and inject it with venom. It was described by the Auburn University professor Jason Bond in 2008 who named it after the American actress Angelina Jolie in recognition of her work on the United Nations High Commission for Refugees.
