Aptostichus is a genus of North American mygalomorph spiders in the family Euctenizidae, and was first described by Eugène Simon in 1891. [3] They are found predominantly in southern California, United States. [2] [4]

Behavior

Members of the North American genus, Aptostichus, assemble tunnels with side chambers, but they do not close these chambers with additional trapdoors. [5]

Species
