Abstract:
Brent Hendrixson, a doctoral student in East Carolina's Department of Biology, was examining a series of preserved spiders within the genus Antrodiaetus, the subject of his dissertation, when he discovered a new species of trapdoor spider no one knew existed. These specimens had been collected by the USDA Forest Services in the 1970s and had been shelved at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science for the past fifteen years.
