Trapdoor spiders (superfamily Ctenizoidea family Ctenizidae) are medium-sized mygalomorph spiders that construct burrows with a cork-like trapdoor made of soil vegetation and silk. Some similar species are also called trapdoor spiders such as the Liphistiidae Barychelidae Cyrtaucheniidae and some Idiopidae and Nemesiidae. Some Conothele species do not build a burrow but construct a silken tube with trapdoor in bark crevices.
