New group of trapdoor spiders discovered in Australia: Researchers

Researchers claim to have discovered a new group of trapdoor spiders that builds burrows hidden by camouflaged doors in eastern Australia. They named the group 'Cryptoforis', which means "cryptic door", in reference to the burrows with hinge-doors made of leaves, twigs and silk the spiders construct. This group was compared with the other trapdoor spiders from across Australia.
