genus of basal trapdoor spiders in the familyLiphistiidae . They are found inJapan ,China , andSoutheast Asia .Biology
Female body length ranges from 9 to 29 mm, males are slightly smaller. They live in burrows in earthen banks, and probably in forests. The burrow is sealed with a thin, circular woven door, which is disguised with earth and moss. While they spend the day deep inside the burrow, at night they wait just below the door for insects, woodlice and similar animals that stumble over one of the seven silken fishing lines that radiate from the entrance. They then push up the door and reach for their prey, but are reluctant to leave their burrows. [Murphy & Murphy 2000]
