subdivision = see textThe folding trapdoor spiders (Antrodiaetidae) are a small
spider family with about 30 species in three genera. They are related to theAtypidae (atypical tarantulas).Distribution
Antrodiaetids are found almost exclusively in the
USA , in the west (California ,Arizona ,Nevada ,Utah ,Oregon ,Washington ,Idaho ), the midwest (Missouri ,Kansas ,Arkansas ,Illinois ), and the east (centered in theAppalachian mountains ). [http://www.bio.sdsu.edu/pub/spiders/hedin.html Marshal Hedin] , personal communication (2006)]Two species ("Antrodiaetus roretzi" and "A. yesoensis") are endemic to
Japan . They are consideredrelict species; two separatevicariance events probably led to the evolution of these two species (Miller & Coyle, 1996).The three species of the former genus "Atypoides" are now included in the genus "Antrodiaetus" (Hendrixson & Bond, 2007).
