trapdoor spiders
(gcide) | Mygale \Myg"a*le\, prop. n. [L., a field mouse, Gr. ?.] (Zool.)
A genus of very large hairy spiders of the family
Ctenizidae, having four lungs and only four spinnerets.
They do not spin webs, but usually construct tubes in the
earth, which are often furnished with a trapdoor. The South
American bird spider (Mygale avicularia), and the crab
spider, or matoutou (Mygale cancerides) are among the
largest species. They are also called trapdoor spiders.
Some of the species are erroneously called tarantulas, as the
Texas tarantula (Mygale Hentzii).
